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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

A minimally invasive heart procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms called catheter ablation may reduce the risk of stroke enough that some patients can discontinue blood thinners, according to a ...

Effective treatment of AF is important to enable people to continue to live healthy lives. The most common treatment pathway is medication, including several classes of anti-arrhythmia medication, ...

In August 2026, a federal jury ordered Medtronic to pay US$88,000,000 in compensatory damages over injuries linked 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 ...
