ObjectivesRecently, atrial fibrillation (AF) has contributed to an increase in cardiovascular deaths in the U.S. Palliative care (PC) and atrial ablation (AA) procedure can elevate quality of life of high-risk AF patients, who are associated with multiple comorbidities.

Background And Aims: Aim of this study was to assess the risk of hemolysis, the extent of myocardial and neural injury after monopolar, monophasic pulsed field ablation (PFA) using a lattice-tip catheter in comparison to single-shot PF ablation platforms employing bipolar, biphasic waveforms.

Methods: This prospective study included consecutive patients undergoing PFA for atrial fibrillation (AF) using the Affera™ mapping and ablation system (n=40). Biomarkers for hemolysis (haptoglobin, LDH, bilirubin), myocardial injury (high-sensitive troponin T, CK, CK-MB), neurocardiac injury (S100), and renal function (creatinine) were assessed pre- and within 24 hours post-ablation.

Background: High % of low-voltage area (LVA), a surrogate of scar, is associated with atrial fibrillation (AF) recurrence after pulmonary vein isolation (PVI). Noninvasive biomarkers of LVA are a medical need for PVI decision.

Objective: We aimed to identify the proteome profile of plasma extracellular vesicles (EVs) associated with high % LVA, their cellular origin, and their regulation by hyperglycemia.

Objective: Limited data are available on treatment of atrial fibrillation during ascending aortic aneurysm and aortic valve surgery. Ablation at the time of isolated aortic valve surgery has a Society of Thoracic Surgeons Class I indication. We sought to determine early and late outcomes of concomitant atrial fibrillation surgery at the time of ascending aortic aneurysm + aortic valve surgery.

Background: Frequent premature atrial complexes (PACs) can increase the risk of atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia, and pharmacological therapy can be challenging.

Objective: To report the use of three-dimensional electro-anatomical mapping of PAC originating from the right atrial free wall and treatment by radiofrequency ablation in three horses.

Study Design: Retrospective case report.
