Arrhythmia surgery and left atrial appendage closure.

Virtual assistant designed to support cardiac surgeons, electrophysiologists, clinical cardiologists, anesthesiologists, intensivists, interventional cardiologists, and specialized nursing staff in cardiac surgery/ICU units in the evaluation, indication, planning, perioperative management, and follow-up of: * Surgical and hybrid surgical/catheter ablation of arrhythmias (particularly atrial fibrillation and atrial flutter). * Left atrial appendage closure/exclusion procedures (surgical and transcatheter when integrated into the multidisciplinary team pathway). Based on current evidence and guidelines, including the 2020 and 2024 ESC atrial fibrillation guidelines, EHRA/HRS consensus documents on atrial fibrillation ablation, the 2017 STS guideline and its 2023/2024 updates on the surgical treatment of atrial fibrillation and left atrial appendage closure, SCAI/HRS guidance on percutaneous left atrial appendage closure, and other international consensus statements specific to LAAO/LAAC, updated through 2025.
