The advent of pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheters has changed the landscape of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. Patients with a persistent left superior vena cava (SVC) often have triggers arising from the SVC which traditionally have been difficult to ablate.

Abstract Introduction Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has emerged as the most effective therapy. However, rare anatomical abnormalities such as situs inversus totalis, dextrocardia, or interrupted inferior vena cava can make ablation challenging.

Atrioventricular nodal (AVN) ablation with permanent pacemaker implantation – ‘pace and ablate’ – may be considered for patients with symptomatic atrial fibrillation (AF) for whom rhythm control has been unsuccessful. AVN ablation was successful with durable lesions at one year.

Abstract Background Cardioneuroablation (CNA) is a novel therapeutic approach for functional bradyarrhythmias, specifically neurocardiogenic syncope or atrial fibrillation, achieved through endocardial radiofrequency catheter ablation of vagal innervation, obviating the need for pacemaker implantation.

She also has a hx of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and is on oral anticoagulant treatment. She had a single chamber ICD/Pacemaker implanted several years prior due to ventricular tachycardia. Medical treatment for heart failure was optimized and after a few days the patient was discharged with referral to VT ablation procedure.

The aim of this study is to investigate the usefulness of an implantable loop recorder (ILR) for arrhythmia detection including atrial fibrillation (AF) in HFnon-rEF patients after discharge. Methods and analysis This is a multicentre single arm study to evaluate the usefulness of ILR for detecting arrhythmia.
