Before catheter ablation or pacemaker implantation, all patients in both groups actually met the criteria for permanent pacing due to symptomatic prolonged sinus pauses on termination of AF (Fig. 2), ...

A doctor may recommend surgery for arrhythmia when medications and lifestyle changes haven’t been effective. The different types of arrhythmia surgeries each aim to restore a regular heart rhythm.

The first US safety and efficacy study of radiofrequency (RF) catheter ablation for vagal denervation in patients with neurocardiogenic syncope suggests the procedure can correct autonomic bradycardia ...

The efficacy of catheter ablation for heart failure (HF) patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib or AF) hinged on the phenotype of disease, researchers reported based on a meta-analysis. Compared with ...

Maze surgery, or surgical ablation, is a procedure commonly recommended to treat an irregular heartbeat (atrial fibrillation) when other methods such as medication, cardioversion therapy (electric ...

A pacemaker may be useful for atrial fibrillation (AFib) involving a slow heart rate or other heart conduction disorders. However, doctors may recommend lifestyle changes to manage AFib before a ...

Defibrillators use electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rate, especially in cases of life threatening arrhythmias or sudden cardiac arrest, while pacemakers use low-energy electrical pulses to ...

The alternative text for this image may have been generated using AI. The largest study comparing the short-term and long-term outcomes of radiofrequency catheter ablation with cryoablation in ...

A pacemaker can greatly improve daily life, and many people can return to normal life quickly. However, it is important to maintain the device and be aware of certain lifestyle changes. A pacemaker is ...
