Catheter ablation of AF has shown steady growth over the past two decades with a nearly 15 % annual increase in the US.1 This growth can be attributed in large part to four factors: an increase in operators and institutions performing the procedure;2 a steady rise in AF prevalence, which is predicted to reach 12 million in the US by 2030;3 a larger spectrum of AF patients with more complex atrial…

Atrial Fibrillation, Cardioversion and Stroke Risk
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common serious chronic heart rhythm disorder with an estimated prevalence in the general population of around 1%.1 The arrhythmia affects about 2.2 million persons in the US and 4.5 million individuals in the EU. Due to the advancing age of the population, the prevalence of AF is likely to increase even…

The current option for refractory treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF) includes hybrid AF-surgery.1–2 The hybrid approach was originally a combination of mini-invasive surgical epicardial evaluation and ablation, as well as endocardial electrophysiologist (EP) catheter ablation with the intention of creating a lesion set to cure AF.3 In the search for greater efficacy with less patient…

AF is a common and clinically impactful arrhythmia. Given both the association of AF with aging and the increasing number of elderly people in the general population, it follows that many AF patients are of advanced age. The management of AF in the geriatric population is associated with several challenges, including multiple comorbidities, increased toxicity of antiarrhythmic drugs (AAD), an…
