Abstrakt: Sixteen cases of atrial focus tachycardia are described clinically, electrophysiologically and hemodynamically. In each case multiple attempts at drug treatment (average 2.5 drugs) had failed. After delineation of the electrophysiologic mechanism, the patients were treated by surgical removal or cryoablation or catheter electroablation of the focus. In two of four patients catheter ablation was successful and without complication. Surgical treatment was successful in 13 of 14 patients.
