Concomitant surgical ablation is currently underused in patients with atrial fibrillation. ESC 2025: Acoramidis may reduce AF/flutter burden in ATTR-CM, per new ATTRibute-CM trial analysis discussed by CardioNerds. Pulsed field ablation proves safe, effective for persistent AF in ADVANTAGE AF trial, showing strong results and improved QoL Walking at a brisk pace may significantly reduce the risk of heart rhythm disorders, new UK Biobank research shows. The presence of a CMP-PLP variant was linked to a 1.6-fold increased risk for cardiomyopathy or heart failure. Gender disparities persist in clinical trials related to atrial fibrillation (AF) management. Physicians leveraged a surgical technique to achieve partial cardiac denervation, reducing the incidence of POAF post-CABG. A recent study evaluated the association between resting heart rate and incident atrial fibrillation in Black patients. Mortality rates among inpatients with HF who undergo AF catheter ablation are relatively low. LAAO in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation demonstrates similar efficacy to those seen in younger patients. People with amyloidosis have a significantly higher prevalence of atrial fibrillation. In approximately 50% of patients, pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) successfully treats persistent AFib at one year. Théophile Mohr-Durdez, CEO and co-founder of Volta Medical, talks about streamlining workflows for electrophysiologists. People who quit smoking have a lower risk of atrial fibrillation than people who continue to smoke. The EPIC-CAD trial addresses a crucial question in managing patients with both atrial fibrillation and stable CAD. PVI results in clinically important improvements in both symptom burden and quality of life compared with a placebo. Monitoring heart rate and physical activity using a wearable device has clinical value. Both rare and common genetic variation is associated with an increased risk of atrial fibrillation. A recent study found that 73% of patients with ATTR-CA had AF at diagnosis. Radiofrequency-based ablation is highly effective for patients with atrial fibrillation.
