Electrophysiology study and ablation of atrial tachycardia (AT) involve mapping the heart’s electrical activity to identify and treat abnormal focal sites responsible for the arrhythmia. Focal ATs arise from specific areas of the atria, most commonly within the right atrium, and are characterized by regular atrial activation independent of the sinus and atrioventricular nodes. Ablation targets these foci to restore normal rhythm, using techniques guided by electroanatomical mapping and intracardiac signals. This approach is highly effective for unifocal AT, with catheter ablation offering low complication rates and durable outcomes for most patients.Clinicians participating in this course will gain in-depth knowledge of atrial tachycardia anatomy, pathophysiology, and mechanisms. The course will equip healthcare professionals with the skills to diagnose ATs accurately, interpret complex electrophysiology study results, and implement state-of-the-art ablation techniques. Through case-based learning and expert guidance, participants will also enhance their ability to manage challenging AT cases, optimize patient outcomes, and improve procedural safety.
