Mashup Score: 0Pulsed field ablation technique safe as first-time treatment for atrial fibrillation - 1 year(s) ago
In a real-world population, pulsed field ablation using a novel catheter was safe for most patients with atrial fibrillation in routine practice, with 78% free from AF at 1 year, registry data show. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel AF ablation modality that has demonstrated preferential tissue ablation with no esophageal damage in early clinical trials, Vivek Y. Reddy, MD, director of

Mashup Score: 0Novel score identifies those likely to improve heart failure symptoms after AF ablation - 1 year(s) ago
The novel ANTWERP score demonstrated good predictive value in identifying patients whose heart failure symptoms would improve after ablation for atrial fibrillation, a speaker reported.The score utilized readily available clinical values including QRS width, known etiology, AF subtype and atrial dilation to identify those who may experience improved left ventricular ejection fraction after AF

Mashup Score: 0Novel ablation strategy improved arrhythmia recurrence vs. pulmonary vein isolation only - 1 year(s) ago
In a small, single-center trial, the novel Marshall-Plan ablation strategy improved 10-month arrhythmia recurrence compared with pulmonary vein isolation alone for persistent atrial fibrillation, a speaker reported.“After 10 months of follow up, the success rate in the Marshall-Plan group was significantly better (87%) compared to the PVI only group (70%),” Nicolas Derval, MD, head of
