Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation vs Medical Therapy and Psychological Distress: A Randomized Clinical Trial.

Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2023
Importance The impact of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation on mental health outcomes is not well understood. Objective To determine whether AF catheter ablation is associated with greater improvements in markers of psychological distress ...

Efficacy and Safety of Catheter Ablation Combined with Left Atrial Appendage Closure in the Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Anatolian Journal of Cardiology, 2022
Background: Catheter ablation combined with left atrial appendage closure is effective in treating atrial fibrillation. However, the effectiveness of this combined treatment compared with catheter ablation alone is still controversial.

Hybrid Ablation Versus Repeated Catheter Ablation in Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

JACC Clinical Electrophysiology, 2023
BACKGROUND Although catheter ablation (CA) is successful for the treatment of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF), results are less satisfactory in persistent AF.

Catheter Ablation for Ventricular Tachycardia [PDF]

Circulation, 2004
Sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) is an important cause of morbidity and sudden death in patients with heart disease.1 Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) terminate VT episodes, reducing the risk of sudden death. Recurrent VT develops in 40% to 60% of patients who receive an ICD after an episode of spontaneous sustained VT.

Catheter-Based Electroporation: A Novel Technique for Catheter Ablation of Cardiac Arrhythmias.

JACC Clinical Electrophysiology, 2023
Catheter ablation of arrhythmias is now standard of care in invasive electrophysiology. Current ablation strategies are based on the use of thermal energy.

A Focal Ablation Catheter Toggling Between Radiofrequency and Pulsed Field Energy to Treat Atrial Fibrillation.

JACC Clinical Electrophysiology, 2023
BACKGROUND Because of its safety, "single-shot" pulsed field ablation (PFA) catheters have been developed for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). However, most atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation procedures are performed with focal catheters to permit ...

Impact of undiagnosed obstructive sleep apnea on atrial fibrillation recurrence following catheter ablation (OSA-AF study)

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) may hamper the outcome of catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, SDB is underdiagnosed in clinical practice and the relevancy of undiagnosed SDB on the outcome of catheter ablation is unclear.

Assessment of Catheter Ablation or Antiarrhythmic Drugs for First-line Therapy of Atrial Fibrillation: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Clinical Trials.

JAMA cardiology, 2021
Importance Early rhythm control of atrial fibrillation (AF) with either antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) or catheter ablation has been reported to improve cardiovascular outcomes compared with usual care; however, the optimal therapeutic modality to achieve ...
