- ACC CardiaCast: New Guidelines for Managing Dyslipidemia: What You Can Do NowIn this episode, Drs. Christie Ballantyne and Eugenia Gianos discuss updates regarding the management of dyslipidemia released in new guidelines from the ACC and AHA Joint Committee on Clinical Practical Guidelines.
- CLEAR-VT Registry: Catheter Ablation of Ventricular Arrhythmias With a Dual-Energy Lattice-Tip CatheterCatheter ablation of ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) with a lattice-tip catheter that allows toggling between radiofrequency ablation and pulsed field ablation (PFA) "appeared effective and generally safe," based on findings from the CLEAR-VT Registry late-breaking clinical trial presented at HRS 2026...
- Nanosecond PFA Demonstrates Safety, Efficacy at 1 Year For PAFNanosecond pulsed field ablation (nsPFA) demonstrated reasonable safety, good lesion durability and favorable one-year clinical effectiveness in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), according to a first-in-human study presented at HRS 2026...
- TREAT-PVC: LLTS vs. Sham Stimulation in Reducing Premature Ventricular ComplexesBoth low-level tragus stimulation (LLTS) of the auricular branch of the vagus nerve at the tragus and sham stimulation similarly reduced premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) and influenced the heart rate variability (HRV) parameters in patients with idiopathic PVC," based on findings from the TREAT-PVC trial...
- Explore NCDR Science Presented at HRS 2026Several abstracts being presented at HRS 2026 in Chicago are using NCDR data. The research explores trends and outcomes related to irrigated radiofrequency catheters for accessory pathway ablation in pediatric patients, ICD procedures in patients with ventricular assist devices, and intracardiac echocardiography...
