Biosense Webster Submits Application to U.S. FDA Seeking Approval of the VARIPULSE Platform for the Treatment of Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

2,3 Approximately 1 in 4 adults over the age of 40 are at risk for developing AFib. The primary safety endpoint was incidence of early onset (within seven days) primary adverse events; atrio-esophageal fistula (within 90 days); cardiac tamponade or perforation (within 30 days); and PV stenosis (within 12 months).

Late-breaking Clinical Trial Results from FARADISE, adMIRE Study and Advent Trial at Heart Rhythm 2024 Highlight Pulsed Field Ablation Developments for Atrial Fibrillation Treatment

DAIC

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.

Abstract 4143007: Pericoronary fat attenuation index as a Novel Tool to predict the morbidity of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary artery disease

Circulation

Background:Myocardial infarction with nonobstructive coronary artery disease (MINOCA) is a special syndrome with clear evidence of myocardial ischemia, but no clear stenosis of coronary artery imaging sign. The pericoronary fat attenuation index (FAI) could reflect the local coronary inflammation as a novel imaging marker.

Examples of cardio embolic stroke etiology include: 1. Atrial Fibrillation 2. Cardiomyopathy with mural thrombus 3. Patent Foramen Ovale 4. Severe calcific Aortic (valve) Stenosis 5. Mechanical prosthetic valve Severe carotid artery stenosis is also implicated in embolic stroke. We do have the ECG.

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. 1 These included one pseudoaneurysm, one PV stenosis and one hematoma.1 Epidemiology of Atrial Fibrillation in the 21st Century.

Valvular disease burden in the modern era of percutaneous and surgical interventions: the UK Biobank

Open Heart

VHD incidence was determined using International Classification of Disease-10 codes for aortic stenosis (AS), aortic regurgitation (AR), mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation (MR) and mitral valve prolapse. Clinical correlates of VHD included demographics, coronary artery disease, heart failure and atrial fibrillation.

Long?Term Outcomes After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation in Patients With Chronic Inflammatory Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association

BackgroundChronic inflammatory disease (CID) accelerates atherosclerosis and the development of aortic stenosis. Patients with CID were predominantly female (60% versus 44%,P=0.002) and more often had pulmonary disorders (21% versus 13%,P=0.046) and atrial fibrillation (32% versus 20%,P=0.003). and 1.62, respectively).
