Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Catheter ablation provides a minimally invasive means to target and eliminate arrhythmogenic substrates within the heart.

Pulsed-field ablation (PFA), which was first approved in the United States early in 2024, continued to drive news within the field of heart rhythm disorders this past year, with evidence around left ...

In the field of cardiac electrophysiology, atrial fibrillation (AF) poses a significant risk for ischemic stroke, heart failure, and increased mortality.

Demonstrating that the best solution is not always a multistage approach, a new trial showed catheter ablation is superior to a combination of antiarrhythmic drugs and lifestyle changes — weight loss, ...

Working with "digital twins" of patients' hearts, doctors have improved cardiac ablation outcomes for patients with life-threatening arrhythmias. In the first clinical trials for cardiac digital twins ...
