Successful management of recurrent atrio-ventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia with radiofrequency ablation in a patient on maintenance hemodialysis

[...]he was planned for radiofrequency ablation (RFA). During dialysis, the arrhythmogenic milieu is created by various factors that include elec-trolyte abnormalities (potassium, calcium, phos-phorus, magnesium and other divalent ions), fluid retention, pre-existing heart disease, car-diomyopathy,...

Description
Summary:[...]he was planned for radiofrequency ablation (RFA). During dialysis, the arrhythmogenic milieu is created by various factors that include elec-trolyte abnormalities (potassium, calcium, phos-phorus, magnesium and other divalent ions), fluid retention, pre-existing heart disease, car-diomyopathy, anemia, left ventricular struc-tural abnormalities, obstructive sleep apnea, sympathetic overactivity [1] and vascular catheter in the right atrium.
