Ambulatory monitoring is increasingly important for cardiovascular care but is often limited
by the unpredictability of cardiovascular events, the intermittent nature of ambulatory …

Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) has emerged as an important rhythm-control
strategy and is by far the most common cardiac ablation procedure performed worldwide …

Background Catheter-based pulmonary vein isolation is an effective treatment for
paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Pulsed field ablation, which delivers microsecond high-voltage …

Abstract The Canadian Cardiovascular Society (CCS) atrial fibrillation (AF) guidelines

Background Guidelines recommend a trial of one or more antiarrhythmic drugs before
catheter ablation is considered in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, first-line ablation …

Background: Pulsed field ablation uses electrical pulses to cause nonthermal irreversible
electroporation and induce cardiac cell death. Pulsed field ablation may have effectiveness …

Abstract Background The CABANA (Catheter Ablation Versus Antiarrhythmic Drug Therapy
for Atrial Fibrillation) trial randomized 2,204 patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) to catheter …
