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.

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.

KEY Point: Nothing other than AFib with WPW results in a ventricular response this fast ( which is why Figure-2 is pathognomonic for AFib in a patient with WPW ). Regarding AFib with WPW: The very rapid heart rate and at times extremely short R-R intervals put the patient with AFib and WPW at risk of cardiac arrest from VFib.

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.

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.

Boston Scientific made what could become a major addition to its electrophysiology portfolio, acquiring AFib mapping startup Cortex, Inc. Cortex might not be a household name outside of electrophysiology circles, debuting less than a year ago with $90M in funding, but it was actually formed from longtime EP mapping innovator Ablacon.
