🧵How much PFA is enough?
*⃣A new @hrs_journal systematic review evaluated the balance between efficacy and safety across currently available single-shot PFA systems, focusing on the impact of dosing (number of applications). #EPeeps@HRSonline
➡️Review Process:
• 804 PubMed records screened → 47 studies included (23 efficacy, 26 safety)
• CE/FDA-approved single-shot PFA platforms only
• Endpoints: acute PVI, freedom from atrial arrhythmia, hemolysis/AKI, and myocardial injury
🤔The central question: Does delivering more PFA improve outcomes—or simply increase collateral injury?

In patients with atrial fibrillation and recent stroke, adding catheter ablation to oral anticoagulation did not significantly reduce recurrent stroke, systemic embolism, death, or hospitalization for heart failure compared to standard therapy.
