Zusammenfassung

Die Erkennung der Toxizität und relativen Ineffektivität einer antiarrhythmischen Therapie in der Behandlung supraventrikulärer Arrhythmien führte in der jüngsten Vergangenheit zur Entwicklung alternativer Therapieverfahren. Während die Behandlung von AV-Knoten-Reentrytachykardien oder Vorhofflattern durch Katheterablation eine sehr hohe Erfolgsrate mit bis zu 90% aufweist, stellt die Therapie bei chronischem Vorhofflimmern ein derzeit noch immer unzureichend gelöstet Problem dar. Das Vorhofflimmern ist die häufigste in der klinischen Praxis gesehene Herzrhythmusstörung; seine Prävalenz liegt bei 0,4% in der Allgemeinbevölkerung, steigt aber mit zunehmendem Alter auf 2–4% bei über 60jährigen an (Kannel 1982). Die damit assoziierte Morbidität und Mortalität begründet sich in erster Linie auf thromboembolische Komplikationen sowie einer hämodynamischen Beeinträchtigung, die die Entwicklung einer Herzinsuffizienz fördert; eine Tachykardie-induzierte Kardiomyopathie kann aus einer unzureichend kontrollierten ventrikulären Antwort resultieren (Peters 1988). Aufgrund der sich hieraus ergebenden enormen sozioökonomischen Bedeutung werden derzeit neuere alternative Therapieansätze entwickelt.
