Mashup Score: 0Pilot study shows cryoablation safe and effective for patent foramen ovale closure in AF patients - 30 day(s) ago
New research suggests that cryoablation is a safe and effective approach to closing congenital patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) as part of a single procedure. A study published in the journal Heart Rhythm details this alternative method to the conventional treatment of implementing a percutaneous […]

Mashup Score: 0Accurate prediction of sudden cardiac death following heart attack “currently not feasible” - 1 month(s) ago
New research published in the European Heart Journal has shown that, among patients who have had a heart attack, it is “extremely difficult” to accurately predict those who will go on to suffer a sudden cardiac death—even in those with a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 35% or lower, which is commonly used as a justification […]

Mashup Score: 0COVID-19 vaccination “generally not associated” with increased thromboembolic event risk in AF and atrial flutter patients - 1 month(s) ago
In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) or atrial flutter, COVID-19 vaccination appears to be “generally not associated with an increased risk of thromboembolic events”, as per the findings of a recent study led by researchers in South Korea. In addition to their study’s main conclusion, the researchers note—writing in the European Heart Journal—that “careful individual […]
