Circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) is effective for treating paroxysmal and persistent AF, and has been shown to impact heart rate variability (HRV) indices, in turn, reflecting vagal denervation. We examined the impact of CPVI on HRV indices, and evaluated the relationship between ...
Such a minimally invasive hybrid strategy for ablation may lead to the development of multidisciplinary "Afib teams" to obtain optimal long-term sinus rhythm control. This article provides an overview of current surgical strategies for patients with atrial fibrillation and addresses the two main goals...
“Large databanks, like the REAL AF Registry provide critical insights into how we can deliver effective AFib care for all patients, uncover trends, and identify best practices to drive more positive patient outcomes,” said Jose Osorio, MD, FHRS, President of Heart Rhythm Clin...
circulation of water and air. The glacier surface receives warmth predominantly from solar radiation and from the air. The thermal balance of the glacier surface is the basis of all surface ablation processes. The term “ablation” is sometimes used as well as a synonym for “surface washoff....
Together, they allow operators to confirm ablation success while maintaining worfklow simplicity. FARAVIEW is available exclusively on theOPAL HDx™ Mapping System. Visualize the future System components The FARAPULSE System is a complete PFA solution, evolving the standard of care for AFib with tran...
“As Biosense Webster advances innovation for the treatment of AFib, we are thinking not only about new modalities of ablation, such as pulsed field ablation, but also how to make procedures safer, more effective and efficient. This includes zero...
"If the ablation is limited to the pulmonary vein alone, the success rate goes down—almost to the level of the Amiodarone treatment," Di Biase said. "The highest success rates were for procedures in which other areas (in addition to the pulmonary vein) were ablated." ...
Operator and hospital procedure volumes are associated with outcomes in many cardiac procedures.#Objective:To determine the association between hospital/physician procedural volume and safety/success for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation in the current era.#Methods:Procedures reported to the NCDR AFib ...
Figure 6.Kaplan Meier Curve outcome analysis- days from intervention to first Afib recurrence. 3.4. Health Status Outcomes At the end of the follow-up interval, patients in the very HPSD cohort had a slightly higher, though statistically non-significant mean AFEQT-OS score compared to the 50 ...
An enlarged LA is recognized as an independent predictor of new-onset AF but also of a reduced success rate for PVI in terms of arrhythmia recurrence. In fact, atrial dilation contributes to structural remodelling, with consequent atrial fibrosis [30,31,32]. Among measures of LA size, left ...
