Description

Ablation is powerful—but lifestyle is transformative. As atrial fibrillation (AF) continues to rise globally, emerging evidence makes it clear: lifestyle modification is not just complementary care, it’s frontline therapy.

In this episode of EP Edge, Dr. Niraj Sharma explores how structured lifestyle interventions—targeting weight, alcohol use, sleep apnea, blood pressure, diabetes, and physical activity—can rival or even surpass the outcomes of ablation alone.

We’ll discuss key data from landmark trials, gender differences in response, and how the modern electrophysiologist’s role is evolving—beyond the lab and into lifestyle medicine.
