16, 2025 Primary results from the DEFINE AFib clinical study show the Medtronic LINQ family of insertable cardiac monitors (ICM), paired with a novel algorithm, were able to detect atrial fibrillation episodes and properly risk stratify patients as high risk prior to an AF-related healthcare utilization 80% of the time.

PFA is designed to address AFib, the most common arrhythmia in the US, with a growing patient population. Antiarrhythmic drugs are typically a poor solution for AFib, as their side effects can be debilitating. The operational and safety benefits are “nice,” but AFib ablation has never really been a dangerous procedure.

The patient characteristics, AF effect on quality-of-life questionnaire (AFEQT), and ablation strategies performed remains uncertain in those with and without HFrEF. Catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction <40% (HFrEF) is associated with improved outcomes.
