First double-blind randomised trial of its kind finds widely used ablation procedure significantly reduces atrial fibrillation burden and substantially improves symptoms and quality of life ...

If medications and lifestyle changes are still not improving your atrial fibrillation symptoms, it may be time to consider a surgical option. Learn how cardiac ablation can treat A-fib: the steps of ...

A new, cutting-edge heart procedure is now available in West Texas. Dr. Deephak Swaminath and his team at Medical Center ...

Among patients with atrial fibrillation who chose to undergo catheter ablation, those who lost at least 3% of body weight before the procedure were more likely to be free from AF at 6 months ...

They found that patients who had a history of atrial flutter, or who had inducible atrial flutter during the ablation procedure, were at risk of developing atrial flutter later on.

Convergent hybrid ablation is an innovative treatment for a type of irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AFib). The treatment is a two-stage procedure that combines the expertise of our ...

Atrial flutter is a common condition that ablation can address. In this condition, the upper parts of the heart beat excessively fast, potentially reaching up to 300 times per minute.

Surprisingly high complication risks from ablation for atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, especially for isolated right atrial procedures and at low-volume centers, were seen in a German registry.

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is safe for treating patients with common types of atrial fibrillation (AF), according to a new study.

The authors concluded that targeting individual driver tachycardias and complex electrograms—a tailored ablation procedure—prevents recurrent AF or atrial flutter successfully in patients with ...
