  Purpose: To present the clinical, functional outcomes of radiofrequency ablation in three cases of focal atrial tachycardia arising from the right atrial appendage (RAAT). Method: A retrospective case series reporting the profile, pre-ablation presentation, catheter ablation process and post-ablation outcome of focal atrial tachycardia originating in the right atrial appendage of three patients who had been masquerading as inappropriate sinus tachycardia before ablation. After catheter ablation, three patients had a minimum of three months follow-up. A retrospective analysis was performed to identify two patients with LV dysfunction, defined as an ejection fraction <50% on echocardiography. Recovery of LV function was also assessed. Results: The patients were one female and two males aged 29, 14 and .. Read More»
