AF Symposium 25 - Insights from the admIRE sub-analysis show that if a patient experiences an early recurrence of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (PAF), they are likely to experience another recurrence, suggesting that the blanking period is not needed in pulsed field ablation (PFA).
Dr Luigi Di Biase (Albert Einstein College of Medicine and Montefiore Medical Center, NY, US) joins us onsite at AF Symposium 25 to discuss a sub-analysis of the admIRE trial, which was designed to investigate the safety and efficacy of PAF ablation with the VARIPULSE catheter (Johnson & Johnson MedTech). The sub-analysis compared early to late recurrence of PAF to evaluate the importance of the blanking period in PFA.
Interview Questions:
1. What is the importance behind the trial?
2. What was the study design and patient population?
3. What were the key findings?
4. How should these insights impact clinical practice for PFA?
5. What are the next steps?
Recorded on-site at AF Symposium in Boston, 2025.

Luigi Di Biase
Section Head of Electrophysiology
Prof Luigi Di Biase is the Section Head of Electrophysiology at the Montefiore Medical Center in the Bronx, NY, US. He graduated summa cum laude from University of Bari's cardiology residency in 2000, and completed a master's degree of electrophysiology and cardiac pacing at the University of Insubria in Varese in 2006. Prof Di Biase’s research focuses on cardiology and electrophysiology with specific emphasis on catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation and ventricular arrhythmias performed either manually or with robotic catheter navigation. Additionally, his research focuses on heart failure, particularly cases treated with cardiac resynchronisation therapy devices. Prof Di Biase has participated in over 450 published articles in indexed journals, and regularly presents data at international cardiology conferences. He is a member of the Arrhythmia & Electrophysiology Review editorial board.
