    Abstract Background and aims: Pulsed field ablation (PFA) for the treatment of atrial fibrillation (AF) potentially offers improved safety and procedural efficiencies compared to thermal ablation. Opportunities remain to improve effective circumferential lesion delivery, safety, and workflow of first generation PFA systems. Here we aim to evaluate the initial clinical experience with a balloon-in-basket, 3D integrated PFA system with a purpose-built form factor for pulmonary vein (PV) isolation.
    Methods: The VOLT CE Mark Study is a premarket, prospective, multi-centre, single-arm study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Volt™ PFA System for the treatment of paroxysmal (PAF) or persistent AF (PersAF). Feasibility sub-study subjects underwent phrenic nerve evaluation, endoscopy, chest CT, and cerebral MRI. Study endpoints were the rate of primary serious adverse event within 7-days and acute procedural effectiveness.
    Results: A total of 32 subjects (age 61.6 ± 9.6 years, 65.6% male, 84.4% PAF) were enrolled and treated in the feasibility sub-study and completed 30-day follow-up. Acute effectiveness was achieved in 99.2% (127/128) of treated PVs (96.9% of subjects, 31/32) with 23.8 ± 4.2 PFA applications/subject. Procedure, fluoroscopy, LA dwell and transpired ablation times were 124.6 ± 28.1, 19.8 ± 8.9, 53.0 ± 21.0, and 48.0 ± 19.9 minutes respectively. Systematic assessments of initial safety revealed no phrenic nerve injury, pulmonary vein stenosis, or esophageal lesions causally related to the PFA system, and 3 subjects with silent cerebral lesions (9.4%). There were no primary serious adverse events.
    Conclusions: The initial clinical use of the Volt PFA System demonstrates acute safety and effectiveness in the treatment of symptomatic, drug refractory AF.

    Abstract Enduring isolation of the pulmonary veins (PV) is becoming increasingly common in patients undergoing repeat catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. We describe our approach to ablation strategy in a patient with enduring isolation of PV and briefly discuss the role of non-PV triggers.

    Abstract The accumulating literature linking stress with negative health outcomes, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), is extensively reported yet poorly defined. Stress is associated with a higher risk of hypertension, acute myocardial infarction, arrhythmogenesis, and heart failure. Stress mediates its effect through direct neuronal, endocrine, autonomic, and immune processes and indirectly by modifying lifestyle behaviors that promote CVD progression. Stress occurs when an individual perceives that internal or external demands exceed the capacity for an adaptive response. Psychologic stress is increasingly recognized in the atrial fibrillation (AF) population, although the pathophysiology remains unclear. There appears to be a bidirectional relationship between AF and stress with a complex interplay between the 2 entities. Stress modulates the immune and autonomic nervous systems, key drivers in AF initiation and potentiation. AF leads to increasing anxiety, psychologic distress, and suicidal ideation. Recently, lifestyle modification has emerged as the fourth pillar of AF management, with stress reduction a potential reversible risk factor and future target for intervention. This review examines proposed mechanisms linking AF and stress and explores stress reduction as an adjunct to the AF management armamentarium.

    Abstract The obesity epidemic continues its relentless advance and is paralleled by an increase in the incidence of AF. Several epidemiological studies have highlighted obesity as an independent risk factor for the development of AF. This relationship is likely multifactorial through a number of interacting mechanisms. Weight loss through lifestyle changes or surgery has been associated with reverse remodelling of the atrial substrate and subsequent reduction in AF, making it an essential pillar in the management of AF in obese patients. In this review, the epidemiological data that support the obesity-AF relationship, the current insights into the underlying pathophysiological mechanism, the impact of weight loss on reverse remodelling and AF reduction, and the strategies to achieve weight loss in patients with AF are discussed.
