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 ...

NEW ORLEANS -- The diabetes drug metformin reduced recurrent arrhythmias after a first catheter ablation procedure for atrial fibrillation (Afib) in patients with overweight or obesity but without ...

NEW ORLEANS -- A direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) was unable to further lower the risk of atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF) patients a year or more after successful catheter ablation, according to the ...

A newly published study in prestigious electrophysiology journal, HeartRhythm, reveals same-day discharge after catheter pulsed-field ablation (PFA) for atrial fibrillation (AFib) patients may improve ...

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 ...

Dr. Deephak Swaminath and his team at Medical Center Hospital were the first in West Texas to use the Pulse Select PFA (pulsed field ablation) system. Pulse Select PFA is an emerging and newer, ...

Obstructive sleep apnea and atrial fibrillation are two conditions that share a potentially deadly link. Having one increases the odds of developing the other, and together, the breathing difficulties ...

With symptoms such as a racing, fluttering heartbeat and shortness of breath, atrial fibrillation (AFib) is more than uncomfortable — it makes stroke five times more likely and, over time, can weaken ...
