Catheter ablation (CA) is a widely used first-line treatment for AF. Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have shown its superiority to pharmacological treatment in terms of symptom control, rhythm control and mortality in selected patients; observational studies have also suggested a decreased risk of stroke.1,2 Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the standard endpoint, but studies have reported… View more

AF is the most common cardiac arrhythmia with a complex and multifactorial pathophysiological background. In their seminal publication, Haissaguerre et al. shed light on the role of rapidly firing pulmonary vein sources in the initiation of AF paroxysms.1 Apart from the role of pulmonary vein-triggering foci, underlying electrical and structural remodelling also contributes to the onset and… View more

EHRA 23: ANTWOORD II: LVEF Recovery After AF Ablation in HF Patients
Author(s): Marco Bergonti Added: 1 year ago
EHRA 23 - Dr Marco Bergonti (Istituto Cardiocentro Ticino, CH) to discuss the key takeaways from the ANTWOORD II Trial. In this study, 605 heart failure patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation were enrolled to receive an ANTWERP Score, which aimed to predict LVEF recovery. 70% of patients were categorised as 'responders', patients identified as those who could benefit the most from AF… View more

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia affecting 1.5–2 % of the general population.1 In the current clinical guidelines, catheter ablation is recommended in addition to drug-based antiarrhythmic therapy for patients suffering from symptomatic, drugrefractory AF. However, catheter ablation, if performed at an experienced centre, may also serve as first-line therapy in… View more

Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a genetic sarcomeric disorder associated with myocyte disarray and scar deposition, is intimately linked to sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to malignant ventricular arrhythmias. In the first modern published description of the disease in 1958, Dr Donald Teare describes the case of a 14-year-old male who collapsed while being chased around his school’s playground… View more
