    Mediastinal radiation therapy for breast cancer in female patients is an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation recurrence post-catheter ablation

    Breast cancer is the most common malignancy affecting women and recent studies have shown patients with breast cancer are at a higher risk of developing AF compared to the general population [ 1 , 2 ]. The underlying mechanisms explaining the …

    Usefulness of Dabigatran Etexilate as Periprocedural Anticoagulation Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation

    Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia [ 1 ], and it has a significant impact on morbidity and mortality [ 2 ]. Radiofrequency (RF) energy applied to circumferentially isolate the pulmonary veins (PVs) from the left atrium …

    Catheter ablation versus medical therapy for patients with persistent atrial fibrillation: a systematic review and meta-analysis of evidence from randomized controlled trials

    Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia encountered in clinical practice; AF has a prevalence of approximately 3% in adults aged 20 years or older [ 1 ] and the prevalence is greater in elderly people and those with cardiovascular …

    Very long-term outcomes after a single catheter ablation procedure for the treatment of atrial fibrillation—the protective role of antiarrhythmic drug therapy

    For the last two decades, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has been the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation techniques [ 1 ], evolving from an initial focal ablation inside the PVs [ 2 ] into a more safe and effective wide area approach …

    Catheter Ablation as First-Line Therapy for Atrial Fibrillation: Ready for Prime-Time?

    Current guidelines include atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation as part of the management strategy in patients that have failed at least one oral antiarrhythmic drug treatment course. However, growing evidence derived from both randomized …

    Meta-analysis of efficacy and safety of apixaban and uninterrupted apixaban therapy compared to vitamin K antagonists in patients undergoing catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation

    Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common dysrhythmia, affecting approximately 2.7–6.1 million adults in the United States, and this number is expected to double over the next 25 years [ 1 , 2 ]. Prolonged AF is associated with a high morbidity and …

    Hybrid Therapy with Right Atrial Catheter Ablation and Previously Ineffective Antiarrhythmic Drugs for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation

    Background: Many patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF) become refractory to antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs). Early studies suggested that linear catheter ablation in the right atrium may provide sufficient substrate modification to …

    Do we need pharmacological therapy for atrial fibrillation in the ablation era?

    Management of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains one of the most difficult problems of modern cardiology. Pharmacological antiarrhythmic therapy is used both for termination of episodes of AF and for prevention of AF recurrences. Recently, major …
