The future of pulsed field ablation (PFA) technology could go in the direction of high-voltage nanosecond energy bursts, ...

HEART PROCEDURE SUPERIOR TO DRUGS FOR COMMON ARRHYTHMIA A minimally invasive procedure that “rewires” ‌the heart may be a ...

A novel pulsed field ablation technology was safe and prevented atrial arrhythmia recurrence in most patients with paroxysmal ...

Treatment success with pulsed field ablation was higher at 1 year than with antiarrhythmic drug therapy for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation.

Background Patients with adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) frequently develop late complications despite early surgical ...

Atrial fibrillation occurs when cardiac electrical impulses become disordered, leading to a rapid and irregular heartbeat. Lip and colleagues discuss the mechanisms that underlie this common ...

Guidelines recommend a trial of antiarrhythmic drugs before catheter ablation for persistent atrial fibrillation. Whether pulsed field ablation (PFA) may be a preferred initial treatment is ...

In patients with persistent atrial fibrillation, those receiving pulsed field ablation as first-line therapy had less risk ...

There is a link between atypical heart sounds and atrial fibrillation. People with this condition have an irregular, disorganized heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation is a serious type of arrhythmia, which ...

A minimally invasive heart procedure may be a better first-line treatment than medication for people living with advanced ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF or afib) involves abnormal electrical activity in the upper chambers (atria) of your heart, which causes the organ to beat quickly and irregularly. This abnormal beating ...

Vibhu Parcha, M.D., a physician-scientist in UAB’s Division of Cardiovascular Disease, explained that uncontrolled high blood pressure leads to the development of atrial fibrillation, making the ...
