Mashup Score: 2Pulsed Field Ablation For Atrial Fibrillation: The New Kid on the Block (ADVENT Study) - American College of Cardiology - 2 hour(s) ago
Catheter ablation is one of the most effective rhythm-control strategies for atrial fibrillation (AF). Conventional catheter ablation is performed using thermo-energy sources via either radiofrequency that burns cardiac tissue through heat or cryoablation that freezes tissue under ultralow temperature. Although effective, thermo-energy is not selective of tissues other than myocardium and creates the risk of hemidiaphragmatic paralysis, atrioesophageal fist ula, and pulmonary vein stenosis. Pulsed field

Mashup Score: 19ATTR-ACT Post Hoc Analysis: AFib/AFL Not Predictive of Mortality in Patients With ATTR-CM - American College of Cardiology - 18 hour(s) ago
Although atrial fibrillation/atrial flutter (AFib/AFL) are common manifestations of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM), a post hoc analysis of the ATTR-ACT study, published April 30 in JACC: CardioOncology, found they do not predict all-cause mortality. Furthermore, baseline or historical AFib/AFL did not impact the efficacy of treatment with tafamidis. The ATTR-ACT trial with 441 patients (median age, 75 years; 90% men; 81% White, 14% Black) with biopsy-confirmed ATTR-CM and a history of
