Background: Catheter ablation is beneficial in patients with symptomatic persistent atrial fibrillation (PerAF), and pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a promising energy source to safely and durably create ablation lesions. However, catheter-specific "PFA waveforms and designs" result in effectiveness and safety profiles that are not transferable to other PFA technologies. A head-to-head comparison between the dual-energy, wide-footprint lattice-tip (Sphere-9, Medtronic) and pentaspline PFA catheter (Farawave, Boston Scientific) is not yet available.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in the elderly and often incidental. While anticoagulation is facilitated by risk-stratification scores, rate versus rhythm-control in the elderly and likely asymptomatic population remain challenging. We report an 80-year-old male with newly diagnosed slow AF, referred for an electrical cardioversion after amiodarone loading.

Objective: To investigate two conditions that have been poorly investigated in the medical literature before in the context of atrial fibrillation: the coexistence and association of right or left bundle branch block and axis deviation in patients with permanent atrial fibrillation compared to the control group of healthy subjects with sinus rhythm.
Material And Methods: We conducted an analytic, retrospective observational study performed at Ziv Medical Center, Safed, Israel, collecting data from medical history records of all patients that have been diagnosed with permanent atrial fibrillation versus healthy controlled patients with normal sinus rhythm. We analyzed their ECGs in order to assess the presence of any bundle branch block and/or axis deviation.

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common form of cardiac arrhythmia, the prevalence of which increases with age. Slowing down senescence is one of the urgent challenges of modern science. Therefore, it is important to identify individuals with markers of premature cellular senescence for further development of pharmacological agents capable of slowing it.
