News from EHRA 2024: International Experts Agree on Standards for Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

An international consensus statement on how to treat atrial fibrillation with catheter or surgical ablation has been published in EP Europace, a journal of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC), and was recently presented at EHRA 2024, a scientific congress held April 7-9 in Berlin, Germany.

Development and validation of a predictive model for atrial fibrillation recurrence post-catheter ablation in non-valvular atrial fibrillation patients based on hemodynamic parameters

HeartRhythm

The influence of hemodynamic parameters on the recurrence of atrial fibrillation (AF) following catheter ablation is not well known, and it remains unclear whether a nomogram combining risk factors and hemodynamic parameters improves prediction accuracy.

Medtronic Creates History with FDA Approval of its Novel PulseSelect Pulsed Field Ablation System to Treat Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

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.

MP-483497-006 PROGNOSTIC COMPARISON OF CRYOBALLOON ABLATION IN ATRIAL FIBRILLATION PATIENTS WITH AND WITHOUT CARDIOVASCULAR COMORBIDITIES: INSIGHTS FROM THE KOREAN CRYOBALLOON ABLATION REGISTRY

HeartRhythm

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a progressive and degenerative disease, and its development is associated with cardiovascular risk factors and comorbidities. There is a lack of evidence regarding the prognosis of catheter ablation in patients without any cardiovascular comorbidities.

PO-02-141 HIGH AMPLITUDE PACING CAN IDENTIFY POSSIBLE EPICARDIAL CONNECTIONS AFTER POSTERIOR WALL ISOLATION DURING ABLATION FOR PERSISTENT ATRIAL FIBRILLATION

HeartRhythm

Posterior wall isolation (PWI) is an additional modality to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for radiofrequency ablation (RFA) for persistent atrial fibrillation (PersAF). Lack of durable PWI is a risk factor for AF recurrence.
