Impact of pulsed field ablation-based pulmonary vein isolation on atrial fibrillation triggers...

Non-pulmonary vein (non-PV) atrial fibrillation (AF) triggers, including those originating from the superior vena cava (SVC), are an important source of AF initiation beyond the PVs.

Nowadays closing the left atrial appendage to avoid clot embolism from atrial fibrillation requires an implant. This looks like the future. Magnets! Magnetofluids. @Nature nature.com/articles/s41586-0…

In patients with atrial fibrillation after successful ablation, rivaroxaban therapy did not lead to a significantly lower incidence of a composite of stroke, systemic embolism, or new covert embolic stroke than aspirin therapy. Full OCEAN trial results and Research Summary: nej.md/3LsRJ86 #AFib

CS-ATs are a rare post-ablation cause of AT, often arising from the inferior LA or CS. Diagnosis can be challenging, but targeting the LA–CS connection or using vein of Marshall ethanol infusion is effective. jacc.org/doi/10.1016/j.jacep… #JACCCEP #epAblation @yosuke3gbst
