Postoperative AFib Could Signal Increased Risk of Heart Failure Hospitalizations
July 02, 2022
New research suggests occurrence of postoperative atrial fibrillation was associated with a 33% increase in risk of incident heart failure hospitalization in those undergoing cardiac surgery and a doubling in risk among those undergoing noncardiac surgery compared to their counterparts without postoperative atrial fibrillation.
DECAAF II: MRI-Guided Ablation Not A "One-Size-Fits-All" Fix for Persistent AFib
June 23, 2022
Results of DECAAF II, an RCT assessing MRI-guided ablation plus PVI to PVI alone for persistent AFib, suggest the more aggressive approach did not result in a statistically significant difference in arrhythmia recurrence but was associated with increased occurrence of safety events, including stroke.
