Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Congenital Heart Disease: Therapeutic Challenges and Future Perspectives

Journal of the American Heart Association

Herein, we provide an overview of the current knowledge on the pathophysiology and risk factors for AF in adult congenital heart disease, with a special focus on the existing challenges in AF ablation. Emerging imaging modalities and ablation techniques might have a role to play.

Biosense Webster Study Supports Low and Zero Fluoroscopy Workflow as Safe, Effective Alternative to Conventional Catheter Ablation

DAIC

Titled "Real-world Data Affirms Safety and Effectiveness of Low/Zero Fluoroscopy Atrial Fibrillation Ablation," the study was presented as a late-breaker at the 29th Annual International AF Symposium. Biosense Webster's zero fluoroscopy workflow is the first and only such workflow available in a radiofrequency (RF) cardiac ablation device.

2023 ACC/AHA/ACCP/HRS Guideline for the Diagnosis and Management of Atrial Fibrillation: A Report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines

Circulation

Circulation, Ahead of Print. In addition, new recommendations addressing atrial fibrillation and thromboembolic risk assessment, anticoagulation, left atrial appendage occlusion, atrial fibrillation catheter or surgical ablation, and risk factor modification and atrial fibrillation prevention have been developed.

Abstract 4141066: Multimodal Data-Based Longitudinal Prognostic Model for Predicting Atrial Fibrillation Recurrence after Catheter Ablation in Patients with Patent Foramen Ovale and Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4141066-A4141066, November 12, 2024. Background:Clinical studies on atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after catheter ablation in patients diagnosed with patent foramen ovale (PFO) and paroxysmal AF (PAF) are scarce.

Early Rhythm Control, Lifestyle Modification and More Tailored Stroke Risk Assessment Are Top Goals in Managing Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

The guideline was jointly published today in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and Circulation. Catheter ablation was given the highest Class 1 treatment recommendation for appropriately selected patients, including those with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.

Abstract 4137989: Notched P-wave by digital ECG analysis was associated with new-onset atrial fibrillation onset and ischemic stroke

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4137989-A4137989, November 12, 2024. A notched P wave is also known to predict atrial fibrillation (AF) after catheter ablation. Background:A bimodal P wave in lead II reflects left atrial remodeling and is described as a notched P wave.

Syncope while on a treadmill

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The patient was started on amiodarone, anticoagulation, and metoprolol, and scheduled for atrial flutter ablation. He underwent ablation in the EP Lab. Is longterm endurance-training a risk factor for AFib and AFlutter? == Why is Today's Initial Rhythm AFlutter? Sinus tachycardia does not go this fast.
