Efficacy and Safety of Radiofrequency Catheter Ablation of Atrioventricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia in the Elderly
No full textAV-Knoten-Reentrytachykardien (AVNRT) gehören zu den am häufigsten auftretenden paroxysmalen supraventrikulären Tachykardien. Prinzipiell können sie in jedem Lebensabschnitt auftreten, gehäuft jedoch zwischen dem 30. und 40. Lebensjahr. Durch den demographischen Wandel in unserer Gesellschaft, gewinnt auch die Wahl einer langfristig sinnvollen und kostengünstigen Therapie einer AVNRT bei älteren Patienten an Bedeutung. Allerdings wurde bisher die Katheterablation bei älteren Patienten nicht als erste und langfristig sinnvolle Therapiemassnahme empfohlen, da das Risko eines höhergradigen AV-Blockes mit Schrittmacherpflichtigkeit höher als bei jüngeren Patienten eingestuft wurde. In diese Studie wurden 578 Patienten eingeschlossen, die zwischen Februar 1998 und Juli 2004 mit symptomatischen AVNRT durch eine Katheterablation der langsamen Leitungsbahn therapiert wurden. Die Patienten wurden in Abhängigkeit von Ihrem Alter in zwei Gruppen eingeteilt. In Gruppe 1 waren Patienten im Alter < 75 Jahren (n 508). Gruppe 2 enthielt Patienten im Alter > 75 Jahren (n 70). Ziel dieser Studie war es, den Erfolg und die Komplikatiosrate, insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Induktion eines höhergradigen AV-Blockes, durch Katheterablation bei älteren Patienten zu untersuchen. In Zusammenschau der Ergebnisse, die eine geringe Rezidivrate und keinen höhtergradigen AV- Block bei den älteren Patienten im Vergleich zu den jüngeren Patienten aufweisen, zeigt diese Studie, dass die Katheterablation der langsamen Leitungsbahn bei älteren Patienten mit AVNRT eine sichere und effektive Methode darstellt. Bisherige Vorbehalte bezüglich eines grösseren Risikos im Alter sind nach den Ergebnissen dieser Studie nicht mehr aufrechtzuerhalten. Somit sollte die Katheterablation auch bei älteren Patienten als Therapie der 1. Wahl eingesetzt werden.Atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) is the most commom regular supraventricular tachycardia. The incidence of AVNRT in very elderly patients has become of increased clinical relevance due the demographic change with an increased life expectancy of the general population. Radiofrequency catheter ablation is the first line therapie in patients with AVNRT and is associated with high success and a low complication rate. There are only small number of studies available investigating the incidence of the induction of an atrioventricular block by slow pathway ablation in elderly patients. However, advanced age has been suggested to be a risk factor for the induction of an AV block during slow-pathway ablation. The aim of the study was to investigate the success and complication rate, particularly the induction of an AV block by slow-pathway ablation in elderly patients. Between February 1998 and July 2004 all patients referred to our institution for an electrophysiological study and therapie having symptomatic AVNRT were included and divided into two groups with regard to their age. A total number of 578 patients were included. Group 1 included patients < 75 years (in total 508 patients)and group 2 included patients
> 75 years (in total 70 patients). In regard to the results of this study slow-pathway ablation in elderly patients is both effective and safe and should be considered as the first line therapy

Richardson, Barbauld, and the construction of an early modern fan club
No full textMPhilMuch has been written about the life and long works of the eighteenth century epistolary novelist, Samuel Richardson, but the prospect of his position as the first celebrity novelist – responsible for courting his own fame as well as initiating his own fan club – has largely been ignored. The body of manuscripts housed at the National Art Library in the Victoria and Albert Museum in London provides the modern scholar with evidence of the skeletal beginnings of an early fan club. This thesis aims to show how these manuscripts were turned into a saleable commodity by the publisher and entrepreneur Richard Phillips, while under the guiding hand of another, slightly later, literary celebrity, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. In order to restore Richardson’s reputation amongst a new nineteenth century audience, Barbauld was required to construct her own idea of him as an eighteenth century celebrity author, and in doing so the insecurities of a self-professed, apparently diffident man, are revealed. Barbauld’s capacious, but heavily edited selection of letters is analyzed in this thesis, providing ample evidence that Richardson’s correspondents were more than just eager letter writers. By using Barbauld’s biography of Richardson this thesis aims to show how she manipulates the genre of life writing in her construction of him.
This thesis offers an alternative reading of how the Richardson manuscripts are viewed, redefining them as not simply a collection of letters, but as a collective entity, deliberately selected and archived as evidence of an early modern fan club, and its celebrity managing director

Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Cultures of Energy Podcast is now on iTunes! Stitcher soon!
