Catheter ablation is a treatment option for cardiac arrhythmias. Conventional methods use thermal energy – either heat (radiofrequency ablation) or cold (cryoablation) – to destroy abnormal heart tissues causing irregular rhythm. However, these approaches can sometimes damage nearby healthy tissues as well.
Pulse Field Ablation, is an innovative technique in cardiac electrophysiology for treating arrhythmias. Unlike traditional thermal energy, PFA uses a pulse electric field (PEF) to induce irreversible electroporation (IRE). This approach selectively destroys abnormal heart tissue while preserving the structural integrity of surrounding healthy tissue.
