New data underscore that electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) during catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) is a man-made risk factor for stroke. They also suggest that ...

Performing electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage (LAA) during catheter ablation for A-fib to boost rhythm control carries a risk of stroke that seems to be mitigated either by continued ...

Electrical safety in direct current (DC) systems is not as well understood or regulated as alternating current (AC) systems. This is due to the new and diverse forms of DC sources, lower prevalence of ...
