A national study is shedding light on how to more effectively treat atrial fibrillation (AF) -- a common heart rhythm problem associated with increased risk of stroke and heart failure. The study ...

Pulmonary-vein isolation is an effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a nonthermal ablation method with few adverse effects beyond the myocardium. Data ...

PFA was noninferior to cryoablation for first recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia in patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Tissue-selective energy delivery and short application times offer ...

Announcing a new article publication for Cardiovascular Innovations and Applications journal. Cryoablation (CRYO) is a novel catheter ablation technique for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, ...

CHICAGO, IL — Cryoballoon ablation efficacy and safety was on par with radiofrequency catheter (RFC) ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), results of the FIRE and ICE ...

A national study led by UBC researchers at the Centre for Cardiovascular Innovation is shedding light on how to more effectively treat atrial fibrillation (AF) – a common heart rhythm problem ...

New research shows that cryoablation is a safe and effective approach to close congenital patent foramen ovale (PFO, a small hole in the heart) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing ...

The clinical trial will assess the safety and effectiveness of a pulmonary vein isolation-only strategy to treat patients with persistent atrial fibrillation using the company’s Arctic Front Advance ...

Medtronic scored a double CE mark win for its PulseSelect pulsed field ablation (PFA) system, designed to treat atrial fibrillation, and the Nitron CryoConsole, designed to optimize workflow for ...

A new treatment for atrial fibrillation is available to cardiac patients at OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital. Pulsed field ablation (PFA), which uses shorts bursts of high energy to neutralize abnormal ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affects approximately 3-6 million people in the United States — a figure expected to increase to around 6-16 million by 2050. Globally, ...

"Atrial fibrillation is like a snowball rolling down a hill. With each atrial fibrillation episode there are progressive changes in the heart, and the heart rhythm problem gets worse," explains Dr.
