The first edition of Europace journal in 1999 came right around the time of the landmark
publication of the electrophysiologists from Bordeaux, establishing how elimination of …

This manuscript reviews the literature for all in silico, ex vivo, in vitro, in vivo and clinical
studies of high‐power short‐duration (HPSD) radiofrequency (RF) ablations. It reviews the …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation protocols using energy delivery with very high power and
short duration (vHPSD) have been introduced to improve lesion formation. This study reports …

Background High-power short-duration (HPSD) ablation strategy has emerged as a popular
approach for treating atrial fibrillation (AF), with shorter ablation time. The utilized Smart …

Aims Radiofrequency (RF) ablation for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) in atrial fibrillation (AF)
is associated with the risk of oesophageal thermal injury (ETI). Higher power short duration …

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 …

Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by radiofrequency (RF) ablation is an important alternative to
antiarrhythmic drugs in the treatment of symptomatic atrial fibrillation. However, the inability …

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 …

Background. High power shorter duration (HPSD) ablation may lead to safe and rapid lesion
formation. However, the optimal radio frequency power to achieve the desired ablation index …

This article describes the advances in catheter ablation for AF that have allowed the creation
of more durable and efficient lesions. It describes advances in high-power, short-duration …
