Catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation using thermal energies such as radiofrequency or cryothermy is associated with indiscriminate tissue destruction. During pulsed field ablation (PFA), subsecond electric fields create microscopic pores in cell membranes—a process called electroporation. Among cell typ...
This channel includes news and new technology innovations for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, also referred to as AF or afib. AF is a cardiac arrhythmia caused by irregular and often rapid heart rate. It is caused by the upper chambers (the atria)

Long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation This means your AFib has lasted more than a year and doesn’t go away. Medicine and treatment such as electrical cardioversion may not stop the AFib. Doctors can use another kind of treatment, such as ablation (which burns certain areas of your heart...

Atrial fibrillation ablation It works by disrupting irregular electrical pathways in your heart. A doctor typically inserts a catheter (a very thin, flexible tube) into a blood vessel in your neck or groin and guides it to your heart. Then your doctor can use one of many types of ablation ...
Maybe you didn’t sleep well last night, or your allergies are acting up. Even a little bit of extra weight can have you huffing and puffing after going up the stairs. However, another underlying issue could be atrial fibrillation, or AFib. But what is atrial fibrillation?
