RF-based ablation is the most common treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib) — an irregular and usually fast heartbeat. Studies have shown that this procedure is safe and effective, but over the ...

Background Mechanical compression from the ascending aorta on the left atrial anterior wall (LAAW) can cause low voltage areas (LVAs), which are associated with a higher risk of atrial fibrillation ...

Radiofrequency-based ablation for atrial fibrillation appears more effective than previously shown in clinical trials. Using real-world data, a new study found that the procedure eliminated atrial ...

BOSTON -- For persistent atrial fibrillation (Afib), adding artificial intelligence guidance for ablation site selection improved success, the TAILORED trial showed. Freedom from Afib after one ...

People with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and obesity may have fewer episodes of AFib after ablation if they take the diabetes medication metformin in addition to standard care, according to a ...

BOSTON — A novel, selective registry of high-volume electrophysiologists is helping improve treatments for atrial fibrillation by sharing data and evaluating best practices. The Real-World Experience ...

BOSTON -- An olive oil-enhanced Mediterranean diet didn't help prevent atrial fibrillation (Afib, or AF) recurrence after ablation in the PREDIMAR randomized trial, although there was a signal for ...

In a recent study published in the Journal of the American Heart Association, researchers assessed whether periodontal treatment during the blanking period enhances the success rate of atrial ...

People with atrial fibrillation (AFib) and obesity may have fewer episodes of AFib after ablation if they take the diabetes medication metformin in addition to standard care, according to a ...

A doctor may recommend surgery for arrhythmia when medications and lifestyle changes haven’t been effective. The different types of arrhythmia surgeries each aim to restore a regular heart rhythm.
