Factors Influencing Access to Catheter Ablation Therapy in Atrial Fibrillation Patients

Medically reviewed by Dr. Shani S. Saks, D.O. on August 2, 2023 Lower access rates to catheter ablation therapy were related to low socioeconomic background, female gender, and racial minorities, in this study. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is considered one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias worldwide, and its occurrence and prevalence are expected to increase...

Echocardiography-Guided Zero-Fluoroscopic Cryoballoon Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Medically reviewed by Dr. Shani S. Saks, D.O. on August 2, 2023 Intracardiac echocardiography-guided zero-fluoroscopic cryoballoon ablation was found to be a feasible approach in atrial fibrillation patients and was without any significant effects related to complications or success rates of the procedure. Zero-fluoroscopic cryoballoon ablation (CBA) is a challenging intervention owing to the absence...

Cost-Effectiveness of Early Rhythm Control versus Usual Care in Atrial Fibrillation

Medically reviewed by Dr. Shani S. Saks, D.O. on August 2, 2023 The health benefits of early rhythm control are associated with reasonable costs, as represented by incremental cost-effectiveness ratios. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a prevalent cardiac arrhythmia observed in the adult population, with a one-third lifetime risk among individuals of European descent. By 2060,...
