Video Summary

During the "Shark Tank 2025: Hooking Atrial Fibrillation" event, Dr. Larry R. Jackson II introduced the session, which was organized by the AHA and Art Rhythm Society. The event featured presentations on innovative solutions for atrial fibrillation (AF) treatment. Dr. William Lewis discussed the Get With The Guidelines program, highlighting its success in improving anticoagulation adherence in AF patients. The first presentation by Dr. Javier Barcos focused on AF ablation in elderly patients, using data from the registry to analyze characteristics, treatment strategies, and outcomes for patients aged 75 years and older. The study aimed to provide insights into personalized treatment strategies for the elderly. Dr. Hari Shritharan presented "Precision AF," a project utilizing machine learning to improve AF ablation outcomes by selecting optimal energy sources for ablation procedures based on individual patient profiles. Finally, Dr. Dacoon Sun discussed variations in rhythm control strategies in patients with AF and heart failure, proposing an analysis of temporal trends and influencing factors at both patient and hospital levels. The session followed with questions and feedback from the panel of judges, known as "sharks."
