Pulmonary vein (PV) isolation is currently an established treatment for drug-resistant AF.1 A left common PV (LCPV) is present in 9–83 % of the patients, depending on the definition used,2,3 and counts as the most frequent PV variation, followed by a right accessory middle vein. In recent years, cryoballoon (CB) ablation has emerged as a valid alternative to traditional point-by-point… 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

AF is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia and radio­frequency is the dominant energy source used for atrial ablation. Owing to an ageing population and the increasing burden of cardiovascular disease, the prevalence of AF, particularly in developed countries, is increasing.1,2 With increasing prevalence comes additional financial burden.3 It is paramount that AF therapy is effective in… View more

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… View more
