Piedmont Cartersville (Ga.), part of Atlanta-based Piedmont Healthcare, in partnership with Cumming, Ga.-based Heart and Vascular Care, successfully completed the first cardiac ablation procedure in ...

Hypnosis was superior to placebo to alleviate pain and reduce the consumption of morphine during atrial flutter ablation, researchers found in a prospective, randomized study. “This is ...

The authors concluded that targeting individual driver tachycardias and complex electrograms—a tailored ablation procedure—prevents recurrent AF or atrial flutter successfully in patients with ...

The ablation procedure, in simple terms, draws a line of scar tissue across the path of the errant pulse signals that are causing the flutter.

Surprisingly high complication risks from ablation for atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter, especially for isolated right atrial procedures and at low-volume centers, were seen in a German registry.

Jim Harbaugh had a cardiac ablation after enduring an atrial flutter episode during the 2024 NFL season. Here's what to know about the procedure.

Real-world data show pulsed field ablation was safe and associated with 1-year freedom from atrial fibrillation or flutter for 78% of patients. Longer-term data with more patients are needed.

Hypnosis during catheter ablation for atrial flutter (AFlut) seemed to significantly improve perceived levels of pain and curb reliance on morphine, compared with standard relaxation techniques ...

Recurrence of atrial fibrillation in patients who have undergone catheter heart ablation may be reduced by treating gum disease with three months of the procedure, new Japanese research out ...
