Cryoablation (CRYO) is a novel catheter ablation technique for atrial fibrillation (AF). However, uncertainty persists regarding the role of metabolic modifications associated with CRYO.

A procedure to treat the irregular heart rhythm condition known as atrial fibrillation (a-fib) works just as well for women as it does for men, new research shows.

Cryoablation precisely freezes the abnormal electrical pathways in the heart, minimising collateral tissue damage; this method offers several clinical advantages, particularly beneficial for patients ...
