Epicardial ablation of incessant left atrial appendage tachycardia in a case with tachycardiomyopathy
Atrial tachycardias originated at the left atrial appendage (LAA) are uncommon; often they are incessant and might induce tachycardiomyopathy, as discussed by Hillock et al. (Heart Rhythm;3(4):467–469, 2006). A c...
