Safety and Efficacy of Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Elderly Patients

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) was evaluated in 479 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), 52% paroxysmal. Among 104 patients > 75 years, complication rates and 6‐ and 12‐month arrhythmia‐free survival were not significantly different from younger patients. Age did not predict recurrence. PFA appears safe and effective in elderly AF patients.

Outcomes of Pulsed Field Versus Cryoballoon Ablation in Atrial Fibrillation: A Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
The key findings of this meta‐analysis are as follows: (1) PFA was associated with a significantly shorter duration compared to the CBA group, (2) PFA was associated with a significantly lower rate of arrhythmia recurrence compared with CBA. Yet, the rate of redo ablation did not differ significantly between both groups, (3) The overall complication ...

Temporal Variability and Influence of Measurement Conditions of AI‐Based Atrial Fibrillation Risk Estimation

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
The atrial fibrillation (AF) risk estimated by artificial intelligence‐based program installed in electrocardiography (ECG) machine exhibited temporal variability. Reproducibility within one level of error was 100% for the same ECG, 95% for reproducibility within 4 min interval, and 87% for reproducibility over 15 min interval.

A rare case of an unexpected trigger of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation in the right atrial appendage diverticulum

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Introduction We described a rare case of an adolescent girl with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation originating from the right atrial appendage diverticulum and successfully converted to sinus rhythm after surgical intervention.

Catheter Ablation and Device Therapy in Patients With Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy: A Review of Non‐Pharmacological Therapy

Journal of Arrhythmia, Volume 42, Issue 1, February 2026.
Transthyretin cardiomyopathy (ATTR‐CM) frequently coexists with atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and atrial tachycardia as well as occasionally ventricular arrhythmias and often conduction abnormalities, necessitating management for arrhythmias. Therefore, for arrhythmia specialists, the ability to diagnose ATTR‐CM and proficiency in arrhythmia ...

A Prospective Multi‐Center Implementation Study to Improve the Diagnosis and Treatment of Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo

Academic Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV) is the most common cause of vertigo, yet it remains underdiagnosed and undertreated in emergency departments (EDs). Despite evidence‐based guidelines recommending bedside diagnostic maneuvers (Dix‐Hallpike and supine roll test) and canalith repositioning maneuvers (CRMs), these are ...

Cluster‐Randomized Trials in Emergency Care Research

Academic Emergency Medicine, Volume 33, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Cluster‐randomized trials (also called group‐randomized trials) are increasingly common in emergency care research. In such trials, groups of participants are allocated to different interventions based on naturally occurring “clusters,” such as clinics, hospitals, or emergency medical services agencies. In this methodological review,
