Pulsed field ablation secure, effective for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation

Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is as effective and secure as conventional thermal ablation for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), in keeping with late breaking research presented in a Hot Line session today at ESC Congress 2023. ESC guidelines recommend catheter ablation after failure of drug therapy in patients with paroxysmal AF.2 Conventional ablation […]

Macrophages may play a serious role in the event of atrial fibrillation

Current treatments for atrial fibrillation (AFib), a standard heart condition characterised by fast and irregular beats that may result in stroke and heart failure, have multiple unintended effects and are ineffective for stopping AFib reoccurrence. Latest research led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) and published in Science reveals that certain immune cells play […]
