During its Annual Conference, HRS 2024, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) announced findings from three new studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of pulsed field ablation (PFA), a nonthermal ablation treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). See full findings from the FARADISE, admIRE Study, and Advent Trial here.

Patient was referred to electrophysiologic testing due to suspicion of afib and WPW. During electrophysiologic testing AVRT was induced, which degenerated to afib with ortho and antidromic conduction. Radiofrequency ablation was performed for a right sided posteroseptal bypass tract. Echocardiography was normal.

Electrophysiology note : "In the context of pre-excited atrial fibrillation, we would recommend proceeding with mapping and ablation of accessory pathway (particularly given high risk features including his shortest pre-excited R-R interval is 25 X6 = 150/minute ). Pre-excitation results in a short PR interval.

Medical treatment for heart failure was optimized and after a few days the patient was discharged with referral to VT ablation procedure. The patient also has a history of AFib and HFmrEF ( = H eart F ailure with M inimally- R educed E jection F raction ). After atrial rhythm/SR was restored the patient slowly improved.

Furthermore, it includes the latest recommendations which specifically address AF and thromboembolic risk assessment, anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion, AF catheter or surgical ablation, and risk factor modification and AF prevention. As such, the Class of Recommendation for catheter ablation has been upgraded.
