Guidelines recommend a trial of antiarrhythmic drugs before catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. Whether pulsed field ablation (PFA) may be a preferred initial treatment is ...

Treatment success with pulsed field ablation was higher at 1 year than with antiarrhythmic drug therapy for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.

A larger percentage of patients in PFA group had treatment success at 12 months compared with those receiving antiarrhythmic-drug therapy.

CellFX marks another route for Afib ablation technology ...

In patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, those receiving pulsed field ablation as first-line therapy had less risk ...

A novel pulsed field ablation technology was safe and prevented atrial arrhythmia recurrence in most patients with paroxysmal ...

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 ...

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 ...

A catheter is a long, flexible tube that a doctor inserts into a blood vessel and then guides into your heart. Catheter ablation is a way to treat irregular heartbeats, or arrhythmias, like atrial ...

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 ...

Over the past 5 years, catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved from an experimental procedure to one that is performed in most large medical centers throughout the world. The rapid ...
