Acute kidney injury after catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: Comparison between different energy sources #OpenAccess heartrhythmjournal.com/article/S1547-…

🧵From HeartRhythm large cohort of 2,500 patients, AKI following AFib ablation was 3-4 folds higher with RFA compared to Cryo or pulsed field ablation. AKI is rare with #PFA. Duration of ablation was: - 27 min for RFA - 17 min for Cryo - 1.3 min for PFA

Is cryoablation for AF defunct? ❄️ Excited to announce, as LBCT coordinator, that the CHAMPION trial will be presented at EHRA Congress 2025! Congrats to Tobias Reichlin Christian Sticherling & colleagues on this major milestone! #EHRA2025 EHRAPresident Stefan Simović

Do patients requiring a pacemaker after TAVI have worse outcomes? Findings from the SWISS-TAVI registry will be presented by Patrick Badertscher in a Late Breaking Science session at #EHRA2025. Congrats to the authors! Looking forward to the results! EHRAPresident Stefan Simović

🚨 #EHRA_ESC Survey on VT Management: Key Takeaways! 🏥 VT ablation is mainly done in university hospitals, with on-site cardiac surgery 🩻 CMR/LGE-CMR is routinely used before ablation in 50%+ of cases. ⚡ No centers perform prophylactic VT ablation 📍 85% use HD mapping

🔥 During #EHRA2025, we witnessed some amazing late-breaking clinical trials! The SINGLE SHOT CHAMPION trial, led by Tobias Reichlin & Christian Sticherling, was a randomized, controlled, non inferiority trial conducted at two centers in 🇨🇭 💥 210 patients with paroxysmal AF were
