A minimally invasive heart procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms called catheter ablation may reduce the risk of stroke enough that some patients can discontinue blood thinners, according to a ...

Pulsed field ablation offers high success rate for irregular heart rhythms ...

Investigators evaluated the incidence of asymptomatic cerebral emboli and cognitive outcomes in patients receiving pulsed field ablation for AF.

RF-based ablation is the most common treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib) — an irregular and usually fast heartbeat. Studies have shown that this procedure is safe and effective, but over the ...

BOSTON -- Pulsed field ablation (PFA) trials continued to accrue positive data, as reported at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) annual meeting. Secondary analysis of the pivotal ADVENT trial showed that ...

Catheter ablation was favored for rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF) when considering its psychological benefits over medical therapy alone, the REMEDIAL randomized trial showed.

The overall risk of serious adverse events was similar between the two groups. "Patients with more advanced atrial fibrillation are inherently more complex," said Dr. Andrade. "Even in this ...

Patients living with Atrial Fibrillation, or AFib, are typically prescribed an anticoagulant – blood thinner medication – to reduce the risk of stroke. However, some patients may soon be able to ...

It is expected that within the next 20 years that 20 million-60 million people will get atrial fibrillation, usually just called AFib. People with AFib have a five-times increased risk of stroke ...

Younger atrial fibrillation (AFib) patients are most likely to benefit from more personalized, MRI-guided ablation treatments to correct irregular heart rhythms, according to a new artificial ...

SPONSORED — Dr. Michael J. Hushion, an electrophysiology specialist at Prairie Cardiovascular in O’Fallon, Ill., is helping bring new hope to patients living with Atrial Fibrillation (AFib), a ...

Successful catheter ablation resulted in a low risk of stroke associated with atrial fibrillation (AFib), a type of irregular heart rhythm, according to an international study. Researchers said these ...
