Abstract Aims Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation by pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) are increasingly performed as standalone procedures. Given that PVI and LAAC share the same access route, a combined approach of pulsed field ablation (PFA)-based PVI and LAAC might be beneficial....

Importance
Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is less effective in persistent than in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF).
Objective
To determine whether adding posterior left atrial wall isolation (PWI) to pulsed field ablation (PFA)-based PVI reduces atrial tachyarrhythmia in patients with persistent AF.
Design, Sett...

BACKGROUND
The impact of left atrial (LA) anatomical features on atrial arrhythmia (AA) recurrence after pulsed-field (PF)-based pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is unknown. This study aimed to assess LA anatomical features associated with long-term AA recurrence after PVI.
METHODS
We prospectively enrolled patients un...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS
Patients with left atrial appendage (LAAO) devices are increasingly referred for AF ablation, yet anticoagulation strategies remain uncertain. The goal of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients with pre-existing LAAO devices a...

One-out-of three patients referred for CAD work-up had undetected HF, which was associated with cardiovascular death and AHF hospitalization, and was associated with an increased cumulative incidence of the composite endpoint.

A systematic review and meta-analysis will evaluate and provide primary evidence for the effectiveness of prophylactic implantation of TV-ICDs on all-cause mortality in patients who experienced MI, aiming for primary prevention of SCD after MI.
