AF is the most common arrhythmia and about 10% of the general population above the age of 65 years are affected by this condition.1 The mortality and morbidity of AF is well established, with a higher risk of stroke and heart failure in older patients with comorbidities.2 The pathophysiology of AF is complex and variable, making its management extremely challenging. Epidemiological studies have…

Implantable cardiac devices, such as pacemakers, are used to treat a number of heart conditions, especially those related to the electrical conduction system. Cardiac pacemakers are a well-established and effective therapy, and have been in use for more than 50 years.
The first pacemaker was implanted in a patient in October 1958 by Åke Senning in Stockholm, in cooperation with engineer Rune…

Oesophageal injury prevention has become a major concern in the field of electrophysiology since the first case of atrio–oesophageal fistula was reported as a complication of endocardial surgical radiofrequency ablation (RFA),1 with Scanavacca et al. and Pappone et al. subsequently reporting this complication in patients who underwent percutaneous pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) for AF.2,3 It is…

In this short late-breaking interview, Dr Richard Whitlock (McMaster University, CA) shares the key findings and lessons from the LAAOS III Surgical Atrial Fibrillation Ablation evaluation. The study showed that concomitant surgical AF ablation was not associated with a reduced risk of stroke, or systemic embolism at a mean follow-up of 3.8 years.
Discussion points:
Findings of LAAOS III study…

Over the past decades catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF) has evolved from being a largely experimental procedure to a well-established therapeutic option for certain patients with AF.1–4 Currently the backbone of most catheter ablation techniques is to target the pulmonary veins (PVs) in order to achieve their electrical isolation and maintain sinus rhythm (SR).1 Additional techniques…
