Outcomes of ablation with the FARAPULSE PFA System – a nonthermal treatment in which electric fields selectively ablate heart tissue – will be compared to outcomes following use of anti-arrhythmic drug (AAD) therapy, which is commonly prescribed for patients living with persistent AF. Circulation.
The increasing prevalence of atrialfibrillation (AF) in adults with congenital heart disease raises significant questions regarding its management. Emerging imaging modalities and ablation techniques might have a role to play. Journal of the American Heart Association, Ahead of Print.
Titled "Real-world Data Affirms Safety and Effectiveness of Low/Zero Fluoroscopy AtrialFibrillationAblation," the study was presented as a late-breaker at the 29th Annual International AF Symposium. This is the most commonly used ablation catheter in the world for RF ablation and is fully integrated with the CARTO 3 System.
When atrialfibrillation (AF) begins, it can start with a single focus, degenerating to multiple wavelets, and it spreads throughout the entire surface area of both atria. A fibrillatory wave that occurs at a rate of more than 600 beats per minute can cause fatigue in the long run, leading to atrial dilation.
Circulation, Ahead of Print. Recommendations from the “2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With AtrialFibrillation” and the “2019 AHA/ACC/HRS Focused Update of the 2014 AHA/ACC/HRS Guideline for the Management of Patients With AtrialFibrillation” have been updated with new evidence to guide clinicians.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:It is difficult to identify patients with atrialfibrillation (AF) most likely to respond to ablation. There remains an urgent need to develop procedural predictors of long-term AF ablation success.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4141066-A4141066, November 12, 2024. Background:Clinical studies on atrialfibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation in patients diagnosed with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and paroxysmal AF (PAF) are scarce.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) alone is less effective in patients with persistent atrialfibrillation (AF) compared with those with paroxysmal AF. to 3.4%]; hazard ratio, 0.66 [95% CI, 0.460.94]).
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Inflammation may promote atrialfibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation. The first dose of the study drug was administered within 4 hours before ablation. mg twice daily or placebo for 10 days. 2.02];P=0.89). 1.99];P=0.55).CONCLUSIONS:Colchicine
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. Patients were randomly assigned to either the PVI+SVC ablation group or the PVI-only group. The median burden of atrial tachyarrhythmia showed no significant difference (P=0.91).CONCLUSIONS:The versus 72%;P=0.41).

Additional Resources: After Nov.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4139988-A4139988, November 12, 2024. Background:Ablation is an increasingly preferred treatment for patients with atrialfibrillation (AF), yet the optimal catheter configuration to record electrical activity (electrograms) is undefined.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4140664-A4140664, November 12, 2024. While studies have linked this genetic mutation to severe cardiac hypertrophy, a connection to persistent atrialfibrillation (AF) is unestablished. He was loaded with amiodarone. Monitoring on his apple watch showed a high burden of AF.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:High-power short-duration ablation has shown impressive efficacy and safety for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI); however, initial efficacy results with very high power short-duration ablation were discouraging. ie, noninferiority is met).
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. Background:Pulsed field ablation (PFA) has emerged as an alternative to radiofrequency ablation. Further studies are needed to investigate the long-term feasibility of this new approach to atrialfibrillation treatment.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4137989-A4137989, November 12, 2024. Background:A bimodal P wave in lead II reflects left atrial remodeling and is described as a notched P wave. A notched P wave is also known to predict atrialfibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4141988-A4141988, November 12, 2024. Background:Catheter ablation (CA) is an effective treatment for atrialfibrillation (AF), but many patients experience recurrence post-intervention. The addition of LAVI values provided better discrimination for the ROC model.
A traditional CABG involves a sternotomy, known as “open heart surgery” – cutting the breastbone to access the heart – and placing the patient on a heart-lung machine to stop the heart from beating and circulate the blood.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Volume 16, Issue 11 , Page e012191, November 1, 2023. Six (21%) patients had clinical atrialfibrillation (1 with shortest preexcited RR interval <250 ms). Ablation was acutely successful in 13 of 14 patients with recurrence in 3.
Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4143083-A4143083, November 12, 2024. She was found to have atrialfibrillation and flutter with RVR. She remained in flutter despite diuresis, rate control with metoprolol and digoxin, cardioversion, and ablation.
Diagnosis : Atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction, with fast AV conduction made possible by sympathetic drive of exercise On arrival, we obtained another 12-lead: Unremarkable Further history: One month history of shortness of breath on exertion, denies palpitations, chest pain, orthopnea, leg swelling. He underwent ablation in the EP Lab.
The VARIPULSE Platform is comprised of the VARIPULSE Catheter, a fully integrated variable-loop multielectrode catheter; the TRUPULSE Generator, a pulsed field ablation (PFA) generator; and the CARTO 3 System VARIPULSE Software, which provides full integration with the world's leading 3D cardiac mapping system.
Launching the first FDA -approved PFA technology is not just a milestone; the PulseSelect PFA system is setting a new standard in safety for AF ablation with excellent efficacy and efficiency 1. In my clinical experience with the catheter, it was designed for AF ablation procedures.
Rate vs Rhythm Control in AtrialFibrillation Rate vs rhythm control as a management strategy in atrialfibrillation has been a long standing topic for debate. Nearly two thirds in the rhythm control strategy were on amiodarone and only 14 had catheter ablation. Many were not in sinus rhythm or anticoagulated.
a global leader in cardiac arrhythmia treatment and part of Johnson & Johnson MedTech , today announced European CE mark approval of the VARIPULSE Platform for the treatment of symptomatic drug refractory recurrent paroxysmal atrialfibrillation ( AF ) using pulsed field ablation (PFA).
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising treatment for atrialfibrillation. One-year freedom from atrial arrhythmia was 80.2% (95% CI, 69.7%87.4%) paroxysmal, and 58.5% deep sedation) were treated.
Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Patients undergoing first-time atrialfibrillation (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%
