Our incredible electrophysiology team has now completed 2,000+ AFib procedures using the advanced Affera Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) system. 💓 Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common type of heart rhythm disorder, and PFA uses quick bursts of electricity to safely and precisely treat the areas causing it. Inova has emerged as a global leader in atrial fibrillation care, completing one of the highest volumes of PFA procedures worldwide. Special thanks to Win Sheridan, whose generosity helped fund the first (of what are now five) Affera ablation systems across Inova – improving patient outcomes by expanding access to advanced heart care for our community. Together, we can do more: https://bit.ly/4cV85QX #Cardiology #AFib #Innovation

Inova Schar Cancer is among a select group of health systems approved for a funding award from the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) to expand the use of electronic patient-reported outcomes (ePROs) during cancer treatment. This initiative makes it easier for patients to share symptoms such as fatigue, pain and nausea in real time – so care teams can respond faster, reduce complications and hospital visits, and improve quality of life. This reflects a broader shift in oncology toward more responsive, patient-centered care. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3Ra8hVf #CancerResearch #CancerCare
