Utility of Post‐Procedural HFA‐PEFF Reassessment for Long‐Term Heart Failure Risk Stratification After Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
In this single‐center cohort of 856 patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation, post‐procedural HFA‐PEFF reassessment provided better long‐term discrimination for heart failure hospitalization than pre‐procedural assessment over a median 5.2‐year follow‐up.

Hybrid Thoracoscopic‐Endocardial Versus Endocardial Catheter Ablation for Persistent Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Hybrid thoracoscopic‐endocardial ablation improved overall rhythm control, antiarrhythmic drug independence, and reduced repeat ablation compared with endocardial catheter ablation in persistent atrial fibrillation. These benefits were offset by greater procedural complexity and a higher risk of major complications. ABSTRACT Background Hybrid ablation (

Fractionated Atrial Electrograms Identify Sites of Autonomic Responses During Pulmonary Vein Isolation: Insights for Cardioneuroablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Conceptual overview of the study design and physiological rationale underlying programmable electrogram fractionation mapping during ablation. In the primary AF cohort, 27 predefined combinations of signal width, refractory period, and roving sensitivity were systematically evaluated across 870 ablation sites during PVI to identify electrogram ...

The Japanese Catheter Ablation Registry (J‐AB): Annual Report in 2024

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Analysis of 112 151 catheter ablation procedures from the 2024 Japanese Catheter Ablation (J‐AB) Registry demonstrated consistently low acute complication rates, with a slight reduction from 2023, confirming the safety of contemporary catheter ablation practice in Japan.

Strategy‐Specific Effects of Low‐Voltage Area–Targeted Ablation Added to Pulmonary Vein Isolation: A Meta‐Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Adding LVA‐targeted ablation to PVI was associated with a reduction in atrial tachyarrhythmia recurrence compared with PVI alone. The treatment effect appeared more pronounced in trials employing LVA isolation than in those using homogenization. AF, atrial fibrillation; LVA, low‐voltage area; PVI, pulmonary vein isolation.

Comparative Effectiveness of Antiarrhythmic Drugs on Early Atrial Tachyarrhythmias in the Blanking Period After Atrial Fibrillation Catheter Ablation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Bepridil, particularly in combination with aprindine, was highly effective for suppressing early recurrence of atrial tachyarrhythmia after AF ablation. Poor response to bepridil‐based therapy during the blanking period may identify patients at increased risk of late AF recurrence.

Pulsed Field Ablation Versus Thermal Ablation for First‐Time Pulmonary Vein Isolation in Atrial Fibrillation: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
In patients undergoing first‐time pulmonary vein isolation for atrial fibrillation, pulsed field ablation was associated with lower arrhythmia recurrence and reduced transient phrenic nerve palsy compared with thermal ablation. Durable pulmonary vein isolation and most safety outcomes were similar between treatment strategies.

Clinical and Echocardiographic Factors Associated With AI‐Estimated Atrial Fibrillation Likelihood During Sinus Rhythm in Patients With Documented Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 4, August 2026.
Among patients with documented paroxysmal atrial fibrillation assessed during sinus rhythm, lower AF likelihood assignment by AI‐ECG was not uncommon. Hypertension and higher left ventricular mass index were inversely associated with assignment to the higher AF likelihood group, whereas mild or greater tricuspid regurgitation showed a possible positive
