title: [Radiofrequency ablation of the ectopic activity zone in a patient with long-standing chronic right-side inferioatrial tachycardia].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To illustrate feasibility of successful correction of chronic long-standing right-side inferioatrial tachycardia (RIT).
  
  
  METHODS
  A case report of examination and effective treatment of long-standing RIT. The diagnosis was made after ECG, Holter ECG monitoring, Doppler echocardiography, endocardial electrophysiological examination, analysis of the disease history.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Conservative treatment proved low effective. Imaging diagnostic methods and x-ray surgery (radiofrequency ablation of the ectopic activity zone) were leading techniques.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  If a patient is operated (radiofrequency ablation) early, he will not have to take long-term treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs and will be able to live without limitations deteriorating his quality of life.
