HRS 2012 Update: Ablation beats drugs in safety, efficacy in AF patients

May 11, 2012 By MassDevice staff Leave a Comment

Heart Rhythm Society 2012 meeting

Patients with a common heart rhythm disorder who received treatment with cardiac ablation were arrhythmia-free longer than patients taking drugs, suggesting that ablation should be a 1st-order approach to managing an erratic heart beat, according to a new study.

Unveiled at this year’s Heart Rhythm Society in Boston, the study found that patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation who received ablation therapy were 20% less likely to see a recurrence than patients taking anti-arrhythmic medication.
