Boston Scientific Initiates AVANT GUARD Clinical Trial to Evaluate FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System as First-Line Treatment for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

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.

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.

Personalized Heart Digital Twins Detect Substrate Abnormalities in Scar-Dependent Ventricular Tachycardia

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. BACKGROUND:Current outcomes from catheter ablation for scar-dependent ventricular tachycardia (VT) are limited by high recurrence rates and long procedure durations. Predicted optimum ablation sites to terminate all VTs in the models were identified.

Long-Term Durability of High- and Very High-Power Short-Duration PVI by Invasive Remapping: The HPSD Remap Study

Circulation: Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology

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. rates between 90W and 50W.

Epigenetic Regulation of Cardiomyocyte Maturation by Arginine Methyltransferase CARM1

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. Using a battery of assays, including immunohistochemistry, immuno-electron microscopy imaging, and action potential recording, we assessed the effect of loss ofCarm1function on cardiomyocyte cell growth, myofibril expansion, T-tubule formation, and electrophysiological maturation.
