| Abstract |
Pulmonary vein isolation using radiofrequency ablation is an effective therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, the esophagus descends in close proximity to the posterior wall of the left atrium and renders this structure susceptible to thermal injury. Esophageal ulceration has been hypothesized to be a precursor to left atrial-esophageal fistula, a procedural complication associated with poor prognosis. In this review, we have analyzed and summarized the published data regarding esophageal thermal injury during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and strategies to minimize risk of this complication. While esophageal temperature monitoring can be useful, multiple factors such as patient characteristics and specific strategies for radiofrequency energy delivery also merit consideration. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 July 2012.
All research outputs
#23,319,379
of 25,986,827 outputs
Outputs from Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology
#2
of 2 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#161,704
of 178,310 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of Interventional Cardiac Electrophysiology
#2
of 3 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,986,827 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 1.7. This one scored the same or higher as 0 of them.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 178,310 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 3 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
