When AFib continues for over a year and doesn’t go away with treatment, it’s considered long-standing persistent AFib (formerly known as permanent AFib). It can be much more difficult to manage this advanced
Cardiac ablation targets heart tissue to treat arrhythmias. Learn how Johnson & Johnson innovations help treat AFib and other irregular heartbeat conditions.
For macro-reentry, ablation would aim to bisect circus movement (the primary mechanism). In AF, therapy also targets the primary mechanism — but in this case, it is the rotor core. In the CONFIRM trial, 2.1 ± 1.0 sources were observed per patient, with typical total FI...
Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is an abnormal heart rhythm caused by erratic electrical signals in the heart. A normal heart rhythm creates regular electrical signals that are essential for the heart to beat in a steady, rhythmic way to pump blood to all parts of the body. Sometimes these electric...
ablation is done through a catheter threaded into your heart to send low-voltage, high-frequency electricity into the area of your heart that is causing the irregular electrical rhythm. This destroys the small amount of tissue causing the abnormal heart beat and may totally cure the AFib. ...
A cardiac ablation is a procedure where a surgeon uses electrodes to destroy/ablate tissues that are causing heart arrhythmia. The tricky part is getting the electrodes into the heart. To do this, doctors use catheters. Catheters are a thin, flexible, plastic used for several medical procedures...

for the purposes of a [pulmonary vein antrum isolation] tool. And then I think every one of the players in the field is also going to have a point-by-point offering because even if you do all your AFib ablation, you still have 50% of all ablations done on Earth that are not AFib...
