Description
Summary:[...]beyond the type of waveform employed, the electrical field strength, pulse width, pulse duration, and number of pulses play critical roles in the achievement of a desired outcome. The first biphasic group displayed 43% chronic PV isolation, whereas the third biphasic waveform group exhibited 100% PV isolation [12]. [...]these waveform and other iterations will likely need individual optimization in each catheter-energy delivery system. [...]the apparent, relative tissue specificity of PFA is highly appealing and the theoretical safety profile is impressive.
