There are several surgical ablation methods to treat atrial fibrillation; however, the relative efficacy of each scheme is unknown. Patients with permanent atrial fibrillation undergoing valvular ...

Recent years have seen an enormous amount of experimental and clinical research into role of the pulmonary veins (PVs) in atrial fibrillation (AF). Advanced imaging techniques have confirmed the ...

Catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulsed field ablation, which delivers microsecond high-voltage electrical fields, may limit damage ...

BARCELONA, Spain—A comprehensive ablation strategy—a three-step approach that systematically targets the anatomical atrial structures known to be proarrhythmogenic—is superior to pulmonary vein ...

SAN DIEGO — Building on the success of a growing number of devices employing pulsed field ablation to control treatment-resistant paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), a new spherical device produced ...

THE pulmonary circulation is of paramount importance in failure of the heart. The presence of dyspnea, orthopnea and hemoptysis and a diminution in vital capacity imply a profound change in the blood ...
