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.

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 first ...

After ablation, 29 (19%) patients developed left atrial flutter, which was still present in 15 (10%) patients after 12 weeks' follow-up.

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.

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.

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.

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 ...

Meeting Coverage > HRS Minimally Invasive Procedure Shows Promise for Cutting Burden of Fainting Spells — U.S. registry-based study offers early results with cardioneural ablation in younger ...

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 ...

A new procedure has been developed that is a safe and effective way of surgically treating atrial fibrillation, the most common type of heart arrhythmia ...
