Journal ArticleDOI

Surgical vs. transcatheter pulmonary vein isolation as first invasive treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation: a matched group comparison.

TL;DR: In present matched study comparing a surgical with transcatheter PVI treatment strategy in symptomatic AF patients failed on AADs, but without prior ablations, a surgical PVI strategy was more effective to prevent recurrence of atrial arrhythmias, than a transCatheter P VI treatment strategy.
Journal ArticleDOI

The RACE study in perspective of randomized studies on management of persistent atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: One of the main lesson learned from the randomized studies is that anticoagulation must be continued if stroke risk factors are present even if patients maintain sinus rhythm, as four randomized studies showed that rhythm control therapy does not prevent stroke.
Journal ArticleDOI

Early diagnosis and better rhythm management to improve outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation: the 8th AFNET/EHRA consensus conference

TL;DR: Implementation of new evidence-based approaches to AF screening and rhythm management can improve outcomes in patients with AF and artificial intelligence (AI) can support all of the above aims, but requires advanced interdisciplinary knowledge and collaboration as well as a better medico-legal framework.
