Clinical Vulnerability Refines Rhythm‐Related Outcomes in Older Patients Undergoing Pulmonary Vein Isolation for Atrial Fibrillation: An Observational Cohort Study

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
In patients undergoing pulmonary vein isolation, age ≥ 75 years was associated with greater recurrence‐related rhythm intervention. However, outcomes varied markedly among older adults. A simple score incorporating persistent AF, heart failure, chronic kidney disease, and valve disease identified elderly patients with low or high clinical vulnerability.

A Special Muscle Fiber Surviving After Septal Line Ablation of Mitral‐Isthmus Dependent Atrial Flutter

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 5, October 2026.
Following unsuccessful supero‐septal line ablation for mitral isthmus‐dependent atrial flutter, a conduction gap may occur along the septoatrial bundle (SAB). In such cases, linear ablation extending perpendicularly to the supero‐septal ablation line (SSL) toward Bachmann's bundle (BB) may achieve complete conduction block across the supero‐septal ...
