Overview The most sought-after treatment for A-fib has been one that cures the arrhythmia with ablation. Ablation is a procedure that maps, localizes, and destroys the source of the patient’s heart arrythmia by creating scarring inside the heart to interrupt the irregular rhythm. It is performed either during an electrophysiology study (a test to assess your heart’s electrical system) or in the surgical suite. Generally, ablation is accomplished by applying radiofrequency energy (cauterization) or cryoenergy (freezing) through a catheter (a thin tube), to destroy a small area of cardiac muscle in order to disrupt the arrhythmia....

After I permanently left the state in 1999, I learned that many Americans and citizens of other countries are quick to dismiss Iowa because of its flyover status, rural communities, abundance of fried food in different shapes and lack of skyscrapers.

When I lived in New York City, I interacted with more foreign nationals in one typical day than I did in my entire life....

The board’s monthly meeting ended abruptly after a stream of activists, clergy and community groups demanded the board take a vote to remove Rick Smith, the police chief in Kansas City, Missouri. But before it ended, one of those activists, Keiajah Brooks, called out Smith for using photo opportunities with Black children for PR purposes while being complicit in their “oppression and denigration.” She then went on to drag members of the board, which included telling the board’s president Don Wagner: “You age like trash when you’re racist....

“Last night, LAPD pounded on our door & demanded my partner & I step out in the hallway to be cuffed without telling us what they were even here for,” Cindy Chu wrote in a Twitter thread on Monday that has since gone viral. “Then they took us inside our apt, looked for other ppl inside, & separated us for questioning.” Chu, who has appeared on shows including Hawaii Five-O, MacGyver and New Girl, said it was only when she and her partner were handcuffed inside her apartment that officers explained they were responding to a domestic violence call....

The Clinton campaign–which is out this week with two new spots touting its candidate’s economic credentials–rarely gets creative with its advertising. Most of its commercials are like “Can Do”: soft shots of smiling, multiracial citizens crosscut with a coiffed Clinton saying something about “voices.” But “Free Fall” (above) is different. Unlike “Can Do,” it uses a metaphor–plummeting from the sky to certain death below–to describe our current slide toward possible recession....

The Quote Sharing Trump’s latest statement, Kinzinger wrote: “Oh my Lord. He is losing it.” Why it Matters The thrust of Trump’s statement was taking aim at Republican strategist Karl Rove, after he wrote an opinion piece for The Wall Street Journal suggesting the former president’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) speech was lacking.

Kinzinger was one of the 10 House Republicans to vote to impeach Trump in the wake of the January 6 insurrection carried out by the then-president’s supporters against the U.S. Capitol.

“No plans right now to pause the season,” he said in an interview with ESPN’s Malika Andrews. “We’ve of course looked at all the options, but frankly we’re having trouble coming up with what the logic would be behind pausing right now. “As we look through these cases literally ripping through the country, let alone the rest of the world, I think we’re finding ourselves where we sort of knew we were going to get to over the past several months, and that is this virus will not be eradicated, and we’re going to have to learn to live with it....
