Oral antiarrhythmics have limited efficacy and significant risks Catheter ablation is now a first-line option in suitable patients Newer ablation technology - Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is safer and faster Anticoagulation decisions remain based on stroke risk, not ablation status Genuine post-procedural issues may be benign Ongoing healthcare professional role - Blood pressure and risk factor control The questions answered in this podcast are listed below.They were compiled by GPs and health professionals around Australia who attended Healthed’s face-to-face seminars. How effective are oral antiarrhythmic medications? Does this cure atrial fibrillation? What is the current state of ablation technology? Can you explain what you mean by "rapid" and provide an example of how long a procedure typically takes? Does reduced scarring decrease the likelihood or complexity of needing a repeat ablation? What are some of the contraindications in terms of structurally abnormal heart that would be contraindications for the patient? How should atrial fibrillation be approached in patients with severe ischaemic heart disease? Does this complicate treatment? If a patient has an AF ablation, can they come off my anticoagulant? How do you manage patient’s embolic issues? How soon after the procedure can patients typically be discharged? Following successful AF suppression, is it possible for patients to stop taking DOACs or other anticoagulants? After discharge, how soon should patients follow up with their GP?

Do you always examine the vulva in the menopause consult, or would you wait and see if the patient doesn’t have the expected response to vaginal oestrogen? How do we differentiate between lichen sclerosus, lichen planus, or lichen simplex chronicus? Do you think the itch of lichen sclerosus responds to vaginal oestrogen? Could you give this to a woman, and she’s going to get better, and you’ll never know that she had lichen sclerosus? What treatments do you use, and for how long? Can you take a punch biopsy from one site - the site that you think is perhaps the easiest to biopsy or looks the most affected? Is a 3 mm punch biopsy big enough? Do you have to pop a suture in? How do you manage the care of that biopsy after you’ve done it? Is referring to a dermatologist or gynaecologist better for biopsy? Which steroids do you use, for how long, and what results do you expect? How does a woman present with lichen planus?
