Boston Scientific Initiates AVANT GUARD Clinical Trial to Evaluate FARAPULSE Pulsed Field Ablation System as First-Line Treatment for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation

DAIC

The trial will evaluate the outcomes of therapy provided with the FARAPULSE PFA System versus AADs, including device-or procedure-related adverse events, the rates of freedom from AF, atrial flutter, or atrial tachycardia, as well as AF burden – a measurement of the amount of AF an individual experiences.

Syncope while on a treadmill

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

This strip was obtained: Apparent Wide Complex Tachycardia at a rate of 280 What do you think? To me, it was clearly atrial flutter with 1:1 conduction. The rate of 280 is just right for atrial flutter. The waves look like atrial flutter waves, NOT like a wide ventricular complex.

Atrial dilatation in Atrial fibrillation : A query with multiple twists!

Dr. S. Venkatesan MD

In all probability, this dilation is a form of atrial tachycardia and atrial cardiomyopathy. However, underlying lesions such as hypertension, mitral valve disease, COPD, ASD, and TR greatly influence the degree of atrial enlargement. We know atrial flutters can be confined to one atrium.

Abstract 4142266: Long-term Outcomes and Predictors of Recurrence in Atrial Arrhythmia Ablations Post-Fontan Procedure: A Retrospective Analysis

Circulation

Circulation, Volume 150, Issue Suppl_1 , Page A4142266-A4142266, November 12, 2024. Introduction:Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is common and poorly tolerated in patients who have undergone Fontan procedure. Atrial Tachycardia (70%) and Typical Atrial Flutter (65%) were the most common SVTs ablated.

New Onset Heart Failure and Frequent Prolonged SVT. What is it? Management?

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

Here was his ED ECG: There is sinus tachycardia (rate about 114) with nonspecific ST-T abnormalities. There is a large peaked P-wave in lead II (right atrial enlargement) There is left axis deviation consistent with left anterior fascicular block. See my quick review of atrial tachycardia below) The tachycardia spontaneously resolved.
