Patients with AF can benefit from Medtronic Phased RF Ablation System ablation system

October 10, 2011
Medtronic, Inc. today announced results from its Tailored Treatment of Permanent Atrial Fibrillation clinical trial, the first randomized study comparing ablation therapy with the Medtronic Phased RF Ablation System ablation system to traditional medical management in 210 patients with persistent or long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation.

Cardiac Cells That Can Cause Arrhythmia Disabled By Cryoballoon Ablation

September 14, 2011
Many patients are responding to a new, minimally invasive way of treating irregular heartbeats by freezing out the bad cells. Atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) is one such heart rhythm disorder, and it's the most common arrhythmia affecting Americans. However, new research shows that 70 percent of patients with the disorder who ...

The first European registry to evaluate the real-life epidemiology of atrial fibrillation ablation

August 30, 2011
Results presented today from the Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Pilot Study show that almost 40% of patients undergoing a catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation have no underlying disease associated with the arrhythmia, and precipitating factors are rare. The survey, which is a pilot survey from the ESC's EurObservational registry programme, also ...
