Prof Dominik Linz (Maastricht University Medical Centre, Maastricht, NL) moderates a discussion with Dr Emma Sandgren (Karolinska Institutet Danderyd Hospital, Stockholm, SE) and Dr Martin Manninger-Wünscher (Medical University of Graz, Graz, AU) on the clinical implementation and future potential of photoplethysmography (PPG) in atrial fibrillation management.

The panel explores PPG's role as a scalable, patient-facing detection tool — drawing on real-world experience from the TELE-AF project to address post-ablation monitoring, pre-cardioversion decision-making, and the challenge of interpreting complex post-ablation arrhythmias.

Dr Sandgren examines AF burden as an outcome measure and the clinical significance of the symptom–rhythm correlation, while the episode closes with a forward look at AI-enabled PPG analysis and personalised self-management strategies.
