In this video from Arrhythmia Academy's Journal Club, Dr David Duncker (Hannover Heart Rhythm Center, Hannover, Germany) and Dr Emma Svennberg (Karolinska University Hospital, Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden) sit down to discuss screening options for atrial fibrillation.
Dr Svennberg presents the results from the STROKESTOP study, which then leads into a discussion in regards to the…

Atrial fibrillation (AF) leads to a prothrombotic state1 and places patients at risk of thromboembolic disease. The most common and serious complication of thromboembolism is stroke, and AF is held responsible for 25 % of all strokes.2 Strokes in the context of AF are associated with a higher mortality, longer hospital stay and lower levels of independence at discharge.3 These factors combine to…

Pioneering electrophysiology studies in the 1990s defined the anatomical boundaries of typical atrial flutter, identified regions for effective catheter ablation of this arrhythmia and described procedural endpoints to minimise recurrences after ablation. Activation and entrainment mapping demonstrated that typical flutter arises from reentry around the tricuspid annulus.1 Criteria to confirm…

Treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) classically focuses on eliminating triggers near and from the pulmonary veins, which may initiate AF. However, the 1–2 year success rate of pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains 40–50% for persistent AF1,2 and 50–65% for paroxysmal AF,3–5 while supplementary linear lesions or extensive ablation at electrogram-targets have had disappointing results and may…
