Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) received a CE mark for its Affera Sphere-360 pulsed field ablation catheter, opening access to European ...

Background Mechanical compression from the ascending aorta on the left atrial anterior wall (LAAW) can cause low voltage areas (LVAs), which are associated with a higher risk of atrial fibrillation ...

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 ...

AMSTERDAM, The Netherlands – In patients with atrial fibrillation, delayed enhancement magnetic resonance imaging (DE-MRI) performed before ablative treatment can stage the degree of damaged heart ...

Previously, patients with advanced atrial fibrillation (AF/AFib) had limited treatment choices. Since February 2024, West ...

The system enters a field that sees PFA catheters largely displacing thermal modalities for catheter ablation of AF.

BOSTON — A novel, selective registry of high-volume electrophysiologists is helping improve treatments for atrial fibrillation by sharing data and evaluating best practices. The Real-World Experience ...

Cryoballoon (CB) ablation is as effective at reducing recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT) at 1-year, when compared to the current most widely used technique, ...

A quicker, safer option for treating an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation might be just months away. Atrial fibrillation is currently treated with drugs or a procedure known as thermal ...

Cryoballoon (CB) ablation is as effective at reducing recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT) at 1-year, when compared to the current most widely used technique, ...

Treating atrial fibrillation with catheter ablation in addition to medical management may offer greater protection against cognitive impairment than medical management alone, new research suggests.

While a common non-drug treatment called ablation exists for the heart rhythm disorder atrial fibrillation (a-fib), the procedure can be more problematic for women than for men. A-fib, a chaotic ...
