Focal Impulse and Rotor Modulation (FIRM) for Paroxysmal and Persistent Atrial Fibrillation
01/03/2013
David E. Krummen, MD; Thomas McGarry, MD; Marian Holland, MD; Sanjiv M. Narayan, MD, PhD, MSc
This review focuses on the evidence that stable rotors and focal sources drive paroxysmal AF, as well as persistent AF, where FIRM can substantially reduce the extent of atrial ablation and increase success rates.

Think Before You Choose: The Case Against the Routine Use of Dual Coil ICD Leads
01/02/2013
Laurence M. Epstein, MD
Given the lack of benefit of dual coil ICD leads in the vast majority of patients, coupled with the increased risk of extraction, single coil leads be the standard of care for most patients.

Utilizing the Cryoballoon to Isolate the PVs: Do Not Fear the Common
01/02/2013
Scott Greenberg, MD, FACC, FHRS
As a new user of the technology, Dr. Scott L. Greenberg has made a conscious effort to consistently and methodically use the cryoballoon to attempt to isolate the pulmonary veins (PVs), even in the patient with more complex PV anatomy.
