Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Catheter ablation provides a minimally invasive means to target and eliminate arrhythmogenic substrates within the heart.

Cryoballoon (CB) ablation is as effective at reducing recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT) at 1-year, when compared to the current most widely used technique, ...

For patients with atrial fibrillation, catheter ablation reduces the risk of ischemic stroke at more than 30 days, mortality, and heart failure hospitalization, while surgical ablation only reduces ...

Johnson & Johnson advances cardiac ablation technology in Europe with availability of Dual Energy THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH SF Platform.

A catheter ablation procedure widely used to treat the most common heart rhythm disorder significantly reduces the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and results in clinically important improvements ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affects approximately 3-6 million people in the United States — a figure expected to increase to around 6-16 million by 2050. Globally, ...

Demonstrating that the best solution is not always a multistage approach, a new trial showed catheter ablation is superior to a combination of antiarrhythmic drugs and lifestyle changes — weight loss, ...

Compared with medical therapy, rhythm control with catheter ablation is associated with lower risk of ischemic stroke after 30 days, as well as less mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalization, ...

Conventional catheter ablation relies on X-ray fluoroscopy to visualise intracardiac catheters, exposing patients and staff to ionising radiation. In recent years, integration of three-dimensional ...

The heart is at the center of a complex electrical system. Just like any machine, sometimes the system does not always work correctly. There may be a short circuit. This could lead to an abnormal or ...

Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat, cold, or lasers to treat various conditions. It may help relieve symptoms, but it carries serious health risks. The goal of ablation is to ...

Jim Harbaugh told reporters Tuesday he had two successful surgeries during the 2025 NFL offseason. One was a hip replacement; the other was a cardiac ablation done after the 61-year-old coach ...
