PFA in AF patients is associated with similar efficacy and safety profiles as compared to HPSD/vHPSD RFA, with shorter procedural but longer fluoroscopy times. Large, well‐designed RCTs are eagerly awaited to expand our findings. ABSTRACT Background Pulsed field energy has been proposed as alternative to radiofrequency energy in atrial fibrillation (AF)

ABSTRACT Background Bundle branch reentrant ventricular tachycardia (BBR‐VT) is a rare form of VT occurring in patients with structural heart disease (SHD). Rarely, it can also occur in the absence of SHD. Understanding its clinical and electrophysiologic (EP) properties and outcomes post‐catheter ablation (CA) is crucial. Objective We present a series

ABSTRACT Introduction QRS transition during the threshold test is the gold standard for confirming direct capture of the Conduction System in patients with left bundle branch pacing (LBBP). Still, we have limited data on the kinetics of QRS transition over time.

Pulsed Field Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation in Fontan Palliation
ABSTRACT Introduction Pulsed‐field ablation (PFA) is a novel and effective modality for ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Available case reports and small series showed promising results in patients with congenital heart disease. However, PFA ablation in Fontan patients has not been reported yet.

The results of analyzing the early and delayed phases of contrast computed tomography (CCT) images showed that the single‐delayed‐phase was comparable in evaluating the anatomy and diameter of the pulmonary veins to the single‐early‐phase. The single‐delayed‐phase CCT was considered to be effective for evaluation before ablation.

Sex‐based differences in symptomatology in the first month following atrial fibrillation catheter ablation. ABSTRACT Background Differences in baseline characteristics and clinical outcomes exist between female and male patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Objective To assess sex‐specific symptoms within 1 month of AF catheter ablation.
