Results of the PRAETORIAN DFT study were presented as a late breaking clinical trial at the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) 2026 conference. Following the presentation Heart Rhythm TV host Oliver J. Monfredi, MBChB, PhD, FHRS discussed with Reinoud Knops, MD, PhD, FHRS, the PRAETORIAN DFT trial results. Watch below the interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
