Augusta Health now offers the Abbott Volt Pulsed Field Ablation System as a safer option for treating AFib patients.

Cardiac arrhythmias are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Catheter ablation provides a minimally invasive means to target and eliminate arrhythmogenic substrates within the heart.

Cryoballoon (CB) ablation is as effective at reducing recurrences of atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial tachycardia (AT) at 1-year, when compared to the current most widely used technique, ...

For patients with atrial fibrillation, catheter ablation reduces the risk of ischemic stroke at more than 30 days, mortality, and heart failure hospitalization, while surgical ablation only reduces ...

Johnson & Johnson advances cardiac ablation technology in Europe with availability of Dual Energy THERMOCOOL SMARTTOUCH SF Platform.

Demonstrating that the best solution is not always a multistage approach, a new trial showed catheter ablation is superior to a combination of antiarrhythmic drugs and lifestyle changes — weight loss, ...

Compared with medical therapy, rhythm control with catheter ablation is associated with lower risk of ischemic stroke after 30 days, as well as less mortality and heart failure (HF) hospitalization, ...

A catheter ablation procedure widely used to treat the most common heart rhythm disorder significantly reduces the burden of atrial fibrillation (AF) and results in clinically important improvements ...

Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses heat, cold, or lasers to treat various conditions. It may help relieve symptoms, but it carries serious health risks. The goal of ablation is to ...

A new ablation technology known as pulsed-field ablation was successful at eliminating episodes of abnormal heart rhythms for 12 months in up to two-thirds of patients, according to a study being ...

Conventional catheter ablation relies on X-ray fluoroscopy to visualise intracardiac catheters, exposing patients and staff to ionising radiation. In recent years, integration of three-dimensional ...
