How long should anticoagulation continue after an apparently successful atrial fibrillation ablation? Should prophylactic pulmonary vein isolation be added during typical atrial flutter ablation in patients with heart failure? What do emerging data reveal about neurologic events, hemolysis, and renal safety with pulsed-field ablation? In EP Edge® Journal Watch Issue 33, August 2026, Dr. Sharma provides a clinically focused and thought-provoking review of nine important cardiac electrophysiology studies published in Heart Rhythm and JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology. This episode examines: The proposed 8.1-month timing for oral anticoagulant discontinuation after successful AF ablation Prophylactic pulmonary vein isolation in pati...
