Niraj Sharma: “Successful Ablation” Does not Equal Stroke Immunity
Niraj Sharma, Cardiac Electrophysiologist/Cardiologist at Northside Hospital, shared on LinkedIn:
“Can We Really Stop Anticoagulation After AF Ablation?
“Successful ablation” does not equal stroke immunity.
The final EP Edge Journal Watch of 2025 (December | Issue #4) takes a hard, data-driven look at one of the most debated questions in AF care—and the answer is far less clear than many think.
Inside:
A study-by-study breakdown of post-ablation anticoagulation trials
Why aspirin keeps showing up—and why that matters
Signals from metabolic drug trials that may quietly influence stroke risk
Why men and women aren’t biologically the same, including key differences in sinus node function
Where evidence is often over-interpreted in real-world practice
No dogma. No shortcuts. Just what the data actually show.
Next up: the MEGA Marijuana and Cardiac Electrophysiology Issue—THC, arrhythmias, and autonomic effects you won’t find in guidelines.
