In EP Edge™ Journal Watch Issue 19, Dr. Sharma reviews the most important new studies in atrial fibrillation ablation, conduction system pacing, device therapy, and real-world arrhythmia risk. This episode covers a large multicenter analysis linking cannabis use with higher rates of atrial fibrillation, tachycardia, premature beats, and ventricular arrhythmias; the LEAF study on liraglutide and AF ablation outcomes in overweight and obese patients; and FARS-AF II, which suggests a pulmonary vein physiologic signal may help identify PVI-only responders better than traditional paroxysmal-versus-persistent AF labels. The episode also examines the growing role of vein of Marshall ethanol infusion in...
