If left untreated, MR can lead to heart failure or death. Due to the complexity of the mitral valve anatomy and comorbidities typically present in this patient population, limited medical therapies are available to clinicians and their patients.

1,2 People living with AFib face an increased risk of stroke, heart failure and death, and many rely on cardiac ablation to treat the condition effectively. As a result, PFA can reduce the risk of damaging adjacent tissue in patients with complex disease or anatomy.

ABSTRACT Atrial flutter (AFL), defined as macro-re-entrant atrial tachycardia, is associated with debilitating symptoms, stroke, heart failure, and increased mortality. Atypical AFL is a heterogenous group of re-entrant atrial tachycardias that most commonly occur in patients with prior heart surgery or catheter ablation.

TR occurs when the valve doesn't close properly, causing a leak and allowing blood to flow backward in the heart. TR can force the heart to work harder, causing debilitating symptoms such as fatigue and shortness of breath. When left untreated, TR can lead to atrial fibrillation, heart failure, and ultimately, death.
