FARAPULSE and WATCHMAN supporting comprehensive AF management through rhythm control and stroke prevention.

Treat Earlier. Protect for a Lifetime.

Supporting AF patients through timely rhythm control and lifelong stroke prevention.

Join us at ESC 2026 in Munich

AF is a progressive disease that requires both rhythm management and ongoing stroke prevention. Early referral and comprehensive management can help patients access the most appropriate treatment options throughout the continuum of care.

Visit us at Booth #H100 to discover the latest clinical evidence and innovations in AF management, from rhythm control to stroke prevention.

Mark your calendars for our Scientific Symposia on AF

  • Q&A Discussion

Comprehensive AF Management

Managing AF requires both rhythm control and stroke prevention.

Although rhythm control is an important treatment goal, underlying stroke risk may still remain. Stroke prevention should therefore be a lifelong consideration in patients with AF.

Patients with AF require lifelong management as symptoms, disease progression, and stroke risk evolve over time.

Treat Earlier

Early referral for rhythm-control evaluation matters

Catheter ablation has a Class IA recommendation by ESC1 as a first-line treatment option for selected categories of AF patients.

Early intervention may:

  • Improve symptoms1
  • Reduce AF burden
  • Improve quality of life
  • Slow disease progression

Protect for a Lifetime

Stroke prevention is a constant consideration in AF patient management

For certain AF patients, Left Atrial Appendage Closure (LAAC) may be a pragmatic alternative for stroke prevention.

There is a growing body of evidence to support referrals' decision making for the therapy of patients who are not suitable for long term oral anticoagulation

Comprehensive AF Care Starts with the Right Referral

From rhythm control to stroke prevention, patients benefit from access to the full spectrum of evidence-based AF management options.
