    Ablation is a mainstay of AF treatment, but disagreement persists regarding its use as a first-line option. In comparing study outcomes, we will explore how ablation is evolving and the rationale for it becoming first-line therapy for some patients with this debilitating arrhythmia.

    Researchers at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden have investigated how preterm birth and fetal growth are related to the risk of atrial fibrillation up to middle-age. The study, which is published in JAMA Pediatrics, shows that being born preterm or large for gestational age was associated with increased risks of atrial fibrillation later in life. Being small for gestational age at birth was only…
