Pulsed Field Ablation Noninferior to Conventional Thermal Ablation for Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation
Moussa Mansour, MD, and colleagues showed in the ADVENT registrational trial of the Farapulse system that among patients with atrial fibrillation, pulsed-field ablation was noninferior to conventional thermal ablation with respect to efficacy and device- and procedure-related serious adverse events within one year.

AI Finds Associations Between Genetically Predicted LV Mass and Future CV Events
Massachusetts General Hospital researchers used artificial intelligence (AI) to conduct a genome-wide association study of indexed left ventricular mass (LVMI) derived from cardiac MRI, identifying 11 novel associations and linking both actual and genetically predicted LVMI to higher risk of multiple CV conditions.

Cardiovascular Disease Risk Elevated in Children and Young Adults With NAFLD
Tracey G. Simon, MD, MPH, and colleagues have provided the first nationwide estimate of cardiovascular risk in children and young adults with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, finding the disease doubles the risk of incident major adverse cardiovascular events and triples the risk of incident arrhythmia.
