BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiovascular procedures being performed worldwide. Despite the large body of evidence of its effectiveness, with ...
USA: The randomized AVANT GUARD trial has demonstrated that first-line treatment with pulsed field ablation (PFA) ...
Easing heart palpitations is one benefit of catheter ablation. A longer life span is another. Study shows 60 drop in cardiovascular mortality after ablation for atrial fibrillation. More than 4 ...
This Journal feature begins with a case vignette that includes a therapeutic recommendation. A discussion of the clinical problem and the mechanism of benefit of this form of therapy follows. Major ...
A minimally invasive heart procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms called catheter ablation may reduce the risk of stroke enough that some patients can discontinue blood thinners, according to a ...
PFA was noninferior to cryoablation for first recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Tissue-selective energy delivery and short application times offer ...
Irregular heart rhythms can be dangerous for a number of reasons. Dr London shares the best treatment options available to ...
Young age and inducibility of atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia or atrial fibrillation during invasive electrophysiological testing identify asymptomatic patients with a Wolff–Parkinson–White ...
A recent study featured in The Annals of Thoracic Surgery reveals that Medicare patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) who receive surgical ablation during isolated coronary artery bypass grafting ...
Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) involves abnormal electrical activity in the upper chambers (atria) of your heart, which causes the organ to beat quickly and irregularly. This abnormal beating ...
A majority of cases of atrial fibrillation originate within the pulmonary veins. Ablation of atrial fibrillation, also known as “pulmonary vein isolation” or PVI, electrically disconnects the erratic ...
