Performing additional catheter ablations targeting diseased myocardium along with the standard approach of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to treat persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib) did not reduce the recurrence of AFib at one year, based on findings from the SUPPRESS-AF trial presented at ESC Congress 2024 in London.

Additionally, this platform integrates parameters such as contact force measurement and ablation indexes for RF and PFA which have proven in preclinical studies to be critical for lesion creation. With this differentiated system, Biosense Webster is giving EPs the tools and information they need in real-time.

Further ultrasound showed no B-lines (no pulmonary edema). WPW Cardiac arrhythmias ( especially AFib ). The heart rate is too fast for this poor filling. Preload must be increased and the heart rate slowed in order to allow more LV filling. These patients are often on beta blockers to prevent such a scenario. 23/WCC — 2/21/2020 ).

Boston Scientific made what could become a major addition to its electrophysiology portfolio, acquiring AFib mapping startup Cortex, Inc. Cortex gives Boston Scientific a new mapping technology that detects AFib signs and triggers outside of the pulmonary veins, and can help EP teams develop ablation strategies for more complex AFib cases.
