Optimized Linear Ablation with EIVOM Enhances Rhythm Control in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: PROMPT-AF Trial Medha Baranwal6 March 2025 9:00 AM ISTChina: A recent randomized clinical trial, PROMPT-AF, has demonstrated that pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) combined with optimized linear ablation...
Widely performed 'additional' ablation procedure targeting diseased heart muscle not effective in patients with persistent AF: Study Dr. Kamal Kant Kohli6 Sept 2024 8:30 PM ISTIn patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF), standard treatment with pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) ablation resulted in similar outcomes to...
Voltage-Guided PVI Matches Conventional Methods in Efficacy and Slashes Procedure Time for AF Treatment: Study Medha Baranwal5 Sept 2024 8:30 AM ISTJapan: Voltage-guided pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) demonstrated comparable efficacy to conventional lesion size index (LSI)-guided PVI in treating...
High-power, short duration radiofrequency ablation may achieve pulmonary vein isolation faster in AF Niveditha Subramani11 Sept 2023 9:45 AM ISTPulmonary vein isolation is a common procedure to treat atrial fibrillation (Afib). Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that...
Additional low-voltage-area ablation lowers ATA recurrence risk in elderly with paroxysmal AF: JAMA Dr. Prem Aggarwal12 July 2023 10:15 AM ISTChina: Additional low-voltage-area (LVA) ablation beyond circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (CPVI) reduced the recurrence of atrial arrhythmias...
High-frequency, low-tidal-volume ventilation tied to catheter ablation success for atrial fibrillation: JACC Medha Baranwal24 Jun 2023 11:30 AM ISTUSA: High-frequency, low-tidal-volume (HFLTV) ventilation during catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) improves 12-month clinical...
Posterior wall isolation not recommended for ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation: JAMA Medha Baranwal16 Jan 2023 10:45 AM ISTAustralia: The addition of posterior wall isolation (PWI) to pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) compared to PVI alone does not improve freedom from atrial...
Pulmonary vein isolation with myocardium ablation improves AF outcomes: NEJM Jacinthlyn Sylvia31 Oct 2022 9:00 AM ISTResults in patients with persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) were dramatically improved by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) combined with customized...
Don't ablate too much in AF especially at advanced stages: JAMA Dr. Kamal Kant Kohli22 Jun 2022 11:33 AM ISTAblation is a procedure where physicians destroy or ablate cardiac tissue to correct irregular heart rhythms. Findings of one of the largest...
Radiofrequency vs Cryoablation: both prove equally good in the RACE-AF study. dr. Abhimanyu Uppal14 April 2021 10:15 AM ISTRecurrent paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF) after catheter ablation is presumably caused by failure to achieve durable pulmonary vein isolation...
MRI guided Fibrosis Ablation with PVI no better than PVI alone in refractory AF: Study Dr. Nandita Mohan28 Oct 2020 7:00 PM ISTAccording to a recent study, researchers have found that PVI alone is more effective than a pragmatic ablation approach targeting CMR-detected atrial...
