Conventional catheter ablation relies on X-ray fluoroscopy to visualise intracardiac catheters, exposing patients and staff to ionising radiation. In recent years, integration of three-dimensional ...

U.S. electrophysiologists can now switch between radiofrequency and pulsed field energy in a single, fully integrated catheter when they use Johnson & Johnson’s Dual Energy Thermocool Smarttouch SF ...

A catheter ablation procedure widely used to treat the most common heart rhythm disorder significantly reduces the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and results in clinically important improvements ...

Researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study comparing the efficacy of first-time catheter ablation between young and older adults with AF who underwent the procedure between 2016 and 2023. The ...

Safer and faster procedures may improve recovery times, enhance the patient experience and increase access to treatment.

A hospital performed Karnataka's first Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) procedure, marking a significant advancement in the ...

A cross-university paper led by researchers at Queen Mary University of London, published in the Journal of Physiology, shows how better "digital twins" could help doctors treat people with atrial ...

Compared with medical therapy, rhythm control with catheter ablation is associated with lower risk of ischemic stroke after 30 days, as well as less mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalization, ...

Patients with ventricular tachycardia and ischemic cardiomyopathy are at high risk for adverse outcomes. Catheter ablation is commonly used when antiarrhythmic drugs do not suppress ventricular ...

On October 13, 2010, Mayo Clinic Health System in La Crosse was the first area hospital to perform a catheter-based ablation for atrial fibrillation on a patient. This minimally invasive procedure is ...
