Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is today a global epidemic with 33million people world-wide suffering from AF.
AF patients have a 5 times greater risk of having a stroke and 3 times the risk of developing Heart Failure.
Patients with AF have significantly poorer quality of life when compared to healthy individuals, experiencing a variety of symptoms including lethargy, palpitations, dyspnoea, chest tightness, sleeping difficulties and psychosocial distress. AF can be treated with drugs or by interventional therapies. Cardiac ablation is the interventional therapy of use with Radio Frequency and Cryo therapy the most common sources of energy.
Despite the technological advancements in recent years, these have marginally improved outcomes in the past 15 years.
"Despite good progress in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), this arrhythmia remains one of the major causes of stroke, heart failure, sudden death, and cardiovascular morbidity in the world." European Society of Cardiology, 2016 Guideline
RF and Cryo energies are the most commonly used technologies for cardiac ablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, Atrial-Flutter and all other Arrhythmia's.
Despite the development of these technologies and increased market adoption, long term success remains in the range of 50-70% depending on patient population.
Argá Medtech is developing the next generation non-thermal cardiac ablation system. Its unique power generator offers unmatched flexibility when used with its proprietary catheter.
There's much more to success in cardiac ablation than to have just a better catheter design or a better energy delivery generator.
Improving cardiac ablation outcomes requires both.
