Aims Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) has emerged as a novel treatment technology for patients
with atrial fibrillation (AF). Cryoballoon (CB) is the most frequently used single shot …

The coexistence of atrial fibrillation and heart failure significantly increases the risk of all-
cause mortality and heart failure hospitalizations. Sex-related differences in all patients …

Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained arrhythmia in clinical practice, represents
a major cause of morbidity and mortality, with an increasing prevalence. Pharmacologic …

Purpose The aim was to report procedural and technical differences of a novel cryoballoon
(NCB) ablation catheter for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) compared to the standard …

Background Cryoballoon ablation for the treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) has
been utilized in Europe for> 15 years. Objectives Report patient and procedural …

Pulmonary vein isolation is the standard for atrial fibrillation ablation. Although the most
commonly applied energy source is radiofrequency (RF), cryoablation has rapidly evolved …

Background Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) including pulmonary vein isolation
and possibly further substrate ablation is the most common electrophysiological procedure …

Background This prospective trial sought to phenotype persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) based
on AF mechanisms using electrocardiographic imaging (ECGI) mapping to determine …

Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) recurs in about one-third of patients after catheter ablation (CA),
mostly in the first year. Little is known about the electrophysiological findings and the effect …

Background Recent studies suggest persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is maintained by
localized focal or rotational electrical activations termed drivers. Objective The purpose of …
