This review summarises recent evidence relating to the ideal patient population and target substrate for CA, and the techniques available. Recent Findings Risk scores can identify individuals with persistent AF who are more likely to benefit from CA. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) remains the most important ablation technique but non-pulmonary vein triggers explain the high recurrence rates in persistent AF. Novel electroanatomic mapping technologies, hybrid approaches, ethanol vein of Marshall ablation and thoracoscopic epicardial ablation are promising recent developments. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a new ablation modality with an excellent safety profile in trials to date; its role in persistent AF remains an area of study. Summary Improving outcomes of CA in persistent AF remains a significant research focus, with several encouraging directions for future study.","PeriodicalId":35912,"journal":{"name":"Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135437331","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite these many benefits, children with cardiomyopathy have been traditionally restricted from engaging in exercise or participating in organized sports. The purpose of this review is to summarize the current literature regarding the utility of cardiopulmonary exercise testing, discuss the safety and benefits of exercise and sports participation in children with cardiomyopathy, and to identify research gaps in the field. Recent findings We highlight relevant literature discussing exercise and sports participation in children with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, anthracycline-induced cardiomyopathy, and those with ventricular assist device support. We discuss recent literature describing methods for risk stratification. Summary The current literature globally favors promoting exercise and sports participation after appropriate risk stratification. Additionally, we offer guidance for how to safely promote exercise in children with cardiomyopathy.","PeriodicalId":35912,"journal":{"name":"Current Treatment Options in Cardiovascular Medicine","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135437147","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
