Atrial fibrillation is not just an arrhythmia, but a fatal disease that can cause stroke. The prevalence rate in Korea has ...

London, United Kingdom – 2 September 2024: A catheter ablation procedure widely used to treat the most common heart rhythm disorder significantly reduces the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF ...

Surgery, called catheter ablation, is an effective treatment for symptomatic AF that hasn’t responded to medication. A long, flexible tube is fed into the heart’s blood vessel through a vein ...

Convergent hybrid ablation is an innovative treatment for a type of irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation (AFib). The treatment is a two-stage procedure that combines the expertise of our ...

If medications and lifestyle changes are still not improving your atrial fibrillation symptoms, it may be time to consider a surgical option. Cardiovascular surgeon Jared Bunch, MD, discusses cardiac ...

Improved atrial fibrillation ablation strategies and technologies during the past decade are associated with a stepwise reduction in the rate of redo AF procedures, increased procedural volume and ...

Investigators observed reductions in AF burden within 3 to 12 months of cryoconvergent hybrid ablation for patients with all AF (98.9% reduction), persistent AF (99.3% reduction) and long-standing ...

Many studies have indicated that AF ablation reduces symptoms and the burden of AF compared with antiarrhythmic drugs or conservative therapy, “but one does not know without a sham-controlled trial ...

A reappraisal of early mortality after ablation procedures for atrial fibrillation (AF) suggests the risk is higher than often appreciated, in part because the new analysis is based on "real world ...

At 12 months, freedom from AF after a single procedure was 82%, with 1.5% procedural complications rate when using newer generations of ULTC technology.
