Introduction Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a novel modality for pulmonary vein isolation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We describe the initial uptake and experience of PFA using a ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in the best of circumstances has modest success rates. There is a critical need to translate current randomized clinical trial evidence that has been produced in ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia, is closely linked to metabolic dysfunctions, including obesity, diabetes, and dyslipidemia. These lead to pathological changes in ...

Heart failure (HF) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are a bad combination, such that AF can exacerbate HF symptoms, worsen left ventricular function, and create multiple adverse consequences despite ...

Matt Jaeky was only 19 the first time his heart went into atrial fibrillation (AFib). He had just come home after working a long, hot day in his summer job cutting grass and changing water meters ...

During atrial overdrive pacing at a cycle length of 420 ms, the following EKG was recorded (Fig. 1). What is the mechanism for the progressive widening of QRS complexes and for the normal narrow ...

Attempt to get rid of the atrial fibrillation altogether and restore and maintain normal heart rhythm. Allow the atrial fibrillation to persist while controlling the heart rate There are different ...

Available evidence supports the importance of inflammation in atrial fibrillation (AF) pathogenesis, yet general anti‐inflammatory therapies have failed to show benefit for prevention of the ...

BTL, a leader in medical innovation, is proud to announce a major milestone: the successful treatment of the first patients suffering from atrial fibrillation (AF) in a groundbreaking study using a ...

Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) is one of the critical AF types that should be detected and managed early. PAF is diagnosable when a 10-second, 12-lead ECG shows an irregular rhythm. However, ...

He was cold and wet (Forrester class IV) with a High Sensitivity troponin of 331 and a BNP level of 21,503. EKG showed atrial fibrillation with RVR but no evidence of acute ischemic changes. A TTE was ...
