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 ...

The types of additional ablation procedures were similar among the 3 groups, with significantly more frequent left atrial roof ablations in patients with HFpEF or HFrEF compared with patients ...

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

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 ...

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.

Is the early recurrence of AF following ablation attributable to an inflammatory response to the ablation itself? The authors study levels of CRP after AF ablation to find out.

“Cryoconvergent” hybrid ablation for atrial fibrillation may significantly reduce risk for recurrent AF and AF burden in patients with persistent AF or long-standing persistent AF, researchers ...

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 ...

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 ...

The standard ablation procedure used to treat atrial fibrillation involves destroying tissue around the atria’s four pulmonary veins, which is where researchers believe the misfiring signals usually ...
