A method and apparatus of aiding a physician in locating an area to perform an ablation on patients with atrial fibrillation (AFIB) includes receiving data at a machine, from at least one device, the data including information relating to a desired location for performing an ablation, generating...
Acutus Medical Inc. appears to have solved one of the more vexing problems in cardiology, the sheer persistence of persistent atrial fibrillation despite treatment. In a study recently published inHeart Rhythm, the Carlsbad, Calif.-based company demonstrated that 73% of patients undergoing...
Medtronic’s cryoballoon ablation device reduced abnormal heart rhythm symptoms and improved quality of life for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation in a small study, according to the Dublin-based medical device company. The device, which is not approved for treating persistent atrial fibrillatio...

Hybrid ablation superior for persistent AFib: CEASE-AFKeller, Daniel M.Cardiology News
Abstract 12646: Cryoablation vs. Radiofrequency Ablation in Persistent AFib: An Updated Meta-Analysisdoi:10.1161/circ.144.suppl_1.12646Ablation, radiofrequencyAtrial fibrillationCatheter ablationAtrial arrhythmiasIntroduction:Catheter ablation is recommended for drug-refractory atrial fibrillation (AF). ...
Purpose:Persistent atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in the United States, poses substantial health hazards, such as the formation of blood clots, stroke, and heart failure. Despite available therapies such as ablation and antiarrhythmic drugs, there still is no...
However, it is insufficient to maintain sinus rhythm (SR) in persistent and long persistent atrial fibrillation (Per-AFib). Ablation of complex fractionated atrial electrograms (CFAEs) is currently classified as class IIb, However, the concept of length of potential was different between the current...
