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 ...

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 ...

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.

A minimally invasive heart procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms called catheter ablation may reduce the risk of stroke enough that some patients can discontinue blood thinners, according to a ...

Catheter ablation was favored for rhythm control in atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF) when considering its psychological benefits over medical therapy alone, the REMEDIAL randomized trial showed.

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 ...

Boston Scientific leads the pulsed field ablation (PFA) technology market to treat atrial fibrillation (Afib). But it is by no means alone in its commitment to this relatively new way to treat some ...

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Most of us have heard of atrial fibrillation, commonly called AFib. The airwaves are filled with commercials for treatments. A Roxborough woman shared her struggle with it, and ...

Medtronic plc (NYSE: MDT), a global leader in healthcare technology, today announced strategic investments in two privately held companies focused on the development of intracardiac echocardiography ...

More people have atrial fibrillation (AFib) than any other kind of irregular heartbeat. And the numbers are only expected to go up as people live longer with heart conditions that go along with it.

Atrial fibrillation (AFib) can lead to blood clots, stroke, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. New consumer patient research from the Dallas-based American Heart Association found ...
