How Was a Sham-Controlled Trial for Atrial Fibrillation Ablation in Humans Ever Justified?
09/04/2024
In September 2024, the first sham-controlled AF ablation trial was published simultaneous with presentation of the study findings at the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2024.

Hospital Rankings for Heart and Heart Surgery Need to Include Electrophysiology Procedures in Their Metrics
09/01/2024
Historically, more resources, attention, and personnel are dedicated to the cardiac operating rooms, cardiac intensive care units, and catheterization laboratories than to the EP laboratories. There are many reasons why.

Reducing the Rate of Serious Adverse Events in the Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory From 2% to 1%
08/16/2024
It is unrealistic to expect zero complications from an invasive procedure. It is also important to learn that trying to lower the rate of serious adverse events from 2% to 1% in the EP lab can require much more than twice the effort.

Smartwatch-Guided “Pill-in-a-Pocket” Anticoagulation for Atrial Fibrillation: The REACT-AF Trial
03/07/2024
The advent of numerous wearable devices, including AF-sensing smartwatches that are capable of detecting AF, has opened the possibility that direct oral anticoagulation could be prescribed for only a few days after an episode of AF.

False-Positive Patient Activations and Why Reviewing the Results of Ambulatory Monitoring With Patients is Critical
02/12/2024
Despite improvements in ambulatory monitoring, it is still critical that findings be reviewed directly with the patient to accurately interpret the results and to correlate any symptoms with their rhythm at the time.
