Aims Electrophysiological (EP) operations that have traditionally involved long hospital
lengths of stay (LOS) are now being undertaken as day case procedures. The coronavirus …

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is often associated with limiting symptoms, and with significant
impairment in quality of life. As such, treatment strategies aimed at symptom control form an …

This study tested the relationship between left atrial (LA) function parameters and the results
of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Consecutive patients …

Introduction Cryoablation therapy for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to treat paroxysmal atrial
fibrillation (PAF) is well established. A novel 28 mm cryoballoon system designed to operate …

Catheter ablation (CA) is an essential method for the interventional treatment of atrial
fibrillation (AF), and it is very important to reduce long‐term recurrence after CA. The …

Cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is an effective treatment for drug‐refractory atrial fibrillation (AF)
patients. Whether CBA as a first‐line treatment is superior in the rhythm control of AF than …

Background Recurrence rates of atrial fibrillation (AF) remain high even after complete wide
area circumferential pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). In recent years adjunct posterior wall …

Atrial fibrillation is a chronic progressive disease and is the most common arrhythmia in
adults. It is a major cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The EAST-AFNET 4 trial …

Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a promising nonthermal ablation alternative for
treating atrial fibrillation (AF). By delivering ultra-rapid high-energy electrical pulses, PFA …

Aims Update data regarding the atrial fibrillation (AF)-related mortality trend in Europe
remain scant. We assess the age-and sex-specific trends in AF-related mortality in the …
