Patients with structural heart disease are at risk for life-threatening ventricular tachycardias (VTs). Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) can terminate VT, but often at the cost of ...

Catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) is being employed with increasing frequency, although the relative clinical effects of this procedure when compared with antiarrhythmic drug ...

Compared with medical therapy, rhythm control with catheter ablation is associated with lower risk of ischemic stroke after 30 days, as well as less mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalization, ...

Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Catheter ablation provides a minimally invasive means to target and eliminate arrhythmogenic substrates within the heart.

For patients with atrial fibrillation, catheter ablation reduces the risk of ischemic stroke at more than 30 days, mortality, and heart failure hospitalization, while surgical ablation only reduces ...

A catheter ablation procedure widely used to treat the most common heart rhythm disorder significantly reduces the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and results in clinically important improvements ...

An international consensus statement on how to treat atrial fibrillation with catheter or surgical ablation has been published in EP Europace and presented at EHRA 2024. Lead author Dr. Stylianos ...

If medications and lifestyle changes are still not improving your atrial fibrillation symptoms, it may be time to consider a surgical option. Cardiovascular surgeon Jared Bunch, MD, discusses cardiac ...

LONDON, England—The impact of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI)—the mainstay of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF)—should not be attributed to placebo effects, according to the SHAM-PVI trial ...

MDT is betting on ablation, robotics and hypertension therapies as next growth drivers, but tariffs, FX and pricing pressures cloud near-term upside.

The heart is at the center of a complex electrical system. Just like any machine, sometimes the system does not always work correctly. There may be a short circuit. This could lead to an abnormal or ...
