Aims The formation of radiofrequency lesions depends on the power and duration of
ablation, and the contact force (CF). Although high power (HP) creates continuous and …

Background This study sought to evaluate the short and midterm efficacy and safety of the
novel very high power very short duration (vHPvSD) 90 W approach compared to HPSD 50 …

Background The high power short duration (HPSD) approach was hoped to further improve
the efficacy and safety in radiofrequency ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF), compared with …

Background High power shorter duration (HPSD) ablation seen to increase efficacy and
safety treating of atrial fibrillation (AF); however, comparative data between HPSD and low …

Catheter ablation using radiofrequency (RF) energy has been widely used to treat patients
with atrial fibrillation (AF). The optimal levels of power and duration to increase the success …

Aims We sought to compare the effectiveness and safety of high-power short-duration
(HPSD) radiofrequency ablation (RFA) with conventional RFA in patients with atrial …

Objectives The goal of this study was to compare lesion durability between high-power short-
duration (HP-SD) and moderate-power moderate-duration (MP-MD) ablation strategies …

Background: Electrode‐tissue contact is crucial for adequate lesion formation in
radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA). Objective: We assessed the impact of direct …

Introduction Data about atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation using high‐power short duration
(HPSD) radiofrequency ablation in the elderly population is still scarce. The aim of our study …

BACKGROUND: The clinical efficacy of catheter ablation of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF)
remains limited by difficulty in achieving durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Suboptimal …
