Can anticoagulation be safely discontinued after successful atrial fibrillation ablation? Is the traditional prohibition against flecainide in structural heart disease too broad or does CAST remain an essential warning? And can AI-enabled ECGs, unipolar voltage mapping, and cardiac MRI improve how we detect AF and characterize arrhythmic substrate? In EP Edge® Journal Watch Issue 32, Dr. Niraj Sharma examines important electrophysiology research published in Heart Rhythm and JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, translating the methodology, statistical findings, limitations, and clinical implications into practical insights for electrophysiologists and cardiovascular clinicians. Topics include: Discontinuing oral anticoagulation after AF ablationThe c...
