Results from a new clinical trial found overweight and obese patients with persistent and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) who lose weight prior to a catheter ablation procedure have improved ...

BACKGROUND: Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common cardiovascular procedures being performed worldwide. Despite the large body of evidence of its effectiveness, with ...

A procedure to treat atrial fibrillation may be even more effective than previously demonstrated due to improved technology and modern interventions. Radiofrequency-based ablation (RF ablation) is the ...

A new ablation technology known as pulsed field ablation was successful at eliminating episodes of abnormal heart rhythms for 12 months in up to two-thirds of patients, according to a study being ...

NEW ORLEANS -- A new atrial fibrillation (Afib; AF) technology -- pulsed field ablation -- appears to eliminate abnormal heart rhythms in most patients for at least a year, a researcher reported here.

If you sometimes experience a racing or irregular heartbeat, it may be caused by atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common type of heart arrhythmia. AFib can make you five times more likely to have ...

Outcomes improved with a novel ventilation protocol during radiofrequency ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (Afib), registry data across 12 institutions showed. After hospitals implemented ...

If you sometimes experience a racing or irregular heartbeat, it may be caused by atrial fibrillation (AFib), the most common type of heart arrhythmia. AFib can make you five times more likely to have ...

DEAR MAYO CLINIC: I have atrial fibrillation, and I've heard there's a new kind of ablation that could relieve my symptoms. Can you tell me about it? ANSWER: If you have atrial fibrillation (AFib), ...

Results from one of the largest global studies of atrial fibrillation (AFib) procedures show that the simple approach is usually best when it comes to ablation, a procedure where physicians destroy or ...
