Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. In addition, new recommendations addressing atrial fibrillation and thromboembolic risk assessment, anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion, atrial fibrillation catheter or surgical ablation, and risk factor modification and atrial fibrillation prevention have been developed.

Abstract 4141988: The Power Duo: Combining LA Volume Index and Strain to predict AF Recurrence after ablation

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4141988-A4141988, November 12, 2024. Background:Catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF), but many patients experience recurrence post-intervention. The addition of LAVI values provided better discrimination for the ROC model.

Syncope while on a treadmill

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient was started on amiodarone, anticoagulation, and metoprolol, and scheduled for atrial flutter ablation. He underwent ablation in the EP Lab. Reverted to atrial fibrillation with RVR while in the hospital 3 times and needed cardioversion. Therefore — ONE FOURTH the rate is a little slower than 300/4 ~70/minute.

Preprocedural Screening Tool to Guide Nonpulmonary Vein Trigger Testing in First-Time Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Patients undergoing first-time atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation can benefit from targeting non-pulmonary vein (PV) triggers. Preprocedural identification of high-risk individuals can guide planning of ablation strategy. risk), and 14.1%

Rate vs Rhythm Control in Atrial Fibrillation

All About Cardiovascular System and Disorders

Nearly two thirds in the rhythm control strategy were on amiodarone and only 14 had catheter ablation. That is how the strategy of rhythm control by catheter ablation was thought of as a possible better strategy, though technically more challenging, not uniformly effective and having significant risk of complications. Circulation.
