Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) by percutaneous transcatheter ablation is its pivotal treatment. Nowadays, several techniques using different energy sources are used, such as radiofrequency (RF), cryoablation and laser ablation. A new technology that combines the strengths of different techniques has been developed, in particular having both the speed of one-shot techniques and the selectivity and precision of point-by-point RF: the RF balloon (RFB).

- The study explored how changes in QRS index (QI) after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) relate to patient outcomes and prognosis.
- Significant improvements in cardiac function were observed within six months, with a specific QI cut-off value predicting better reverse remodeling in heart structure.
- Higher QI values indicated lower rates of adverse events and a better ability to predict CRT responses, highlighting its potential clinical significance.
