[Catheter interventions for congenital heart disease].

abstract：BACKGROUND:Although several classical studies seemed to provide clear ideas on the pathophysiology of atrial fibrillation, current concepts have to be modified on the basis of more recent findings. REENTRANT CIRCUITS:Based on the findings of Garrey and of Moe & Abildskov, atrial fibrillation has long been considered a...

abstract：:Patients with congenital heart disease have an increased chance to suffer from brady- as well as tachyarrhythmias. The impact of these on quality of life, morbidity and mortality is more often imperative as compared to heart-healthy individuals. The substrate for these may be either congenital or acquired.
