Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is a fast and irregular heart rhythm that, left untreated, can lead to blood clots, stroke and heart failure. It's the most common type of arrhythmia, a potentially serious condition in which the heart beats too quickly, too slowly or in an irregular pattern.

The results support the use of workflows to reduce radiation exposure during catheter ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AFib) while maintaining safety, efficacy, and long-term patient outcomes comparable to traditional procedures.1 1 These included one pseudoaneurysm, one PV stenosis and one hematoma.1

Atrial fibrillation often shortened to AFib is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to serious health complications. If you or someone you know is living with AFib, understanding the condition and how to prevent attacks is crucial. What Is AFib? How Do You Know If You Have AFib?

Cardioversion is used to correct abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. When your heart beats too quickly, too slow, or irregularly, it can affect your blood flow and lead to severe complications like stroke or heart failure. Cardioversions can help “reset” your heart rhythm to its regular pattern.

This allows the atria to fill the ventricles and achieve the highest possible stroke volume. The electrical conduction system [1] In schematic depiction of a normal sinus rhythm the P-wave represents atrial depolarization, the QRS complex symbolizes ventricular depolarization, and the T-wave indicates ventricular repolarization.

During its Annual Conference, HRS 2024, the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) announced findings from three new studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of pulsed field ablation (PFA), a nonthermal ablation treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). See full findings from the FARADISE, admIRE Study, and Advent Trial here.

Many myths are around, but our study found no reason to discourage or forbid a patient with AFib from drinking coffee.

AF is one of the most common heart rhythm disturbances and can affect up to 2% of the population. We never really think beyond the risk of stroke. If the patient is younger than 65 and does not carry comorbidities we don’t anticoagulate them because we believe that the risk of stroke is very low.
