Investigators evaluated the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral emboli and cognitive outcomes in patients receiving pulsed field ablation for AF.

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

RF-based ablation is the most common treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib) — an irregular and usually fast heartbeat. Studies have shown that this procedure is safe and effective, but over the ...

Catheter ablation was favored for rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF) when considering its psychological benefits over medical therapy alone, the REMEDIAL randomized trial showed.

AVANT GUARD trial meets expectations despite pause for safety modifications ...

Pulsed field ablation offers high success rate for irregular heart rhythms ...

Successful catheter ablation resulted in a low risk of stroke associated with atrial fibrillation (AFib), a type of irregular heart rhythm, according to an international study. Researchers said these ...

The FDA approved the first pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheter, the PulseSelect PFA system, for the treatment of paroxysmal and persistent atrial fibrillation (Afib), Medtronic announced on Wednesday ...

It is expected that within the next 20 years that 20 million-60 million people will get atrial fibrillation, usually just called AFib. People with AFib have a five-times increased risk of stroke ...

The overall risk of serious adverse events was similar between the two groups. "Patients with more advanced atrial fibrillation are inherently more complex," said Dr. Andrade. "Even in this ...

Younger atrial fibrillation (AFib) patients are most likely to benefit from more personalized, MRI-guided ablation treatments to correct irregular heart rhythms, according to a new artificial ...
