Program Overview

A new era in catheter ablation therapy for cardiac arrhythmias appears to be underway with the emergence of irreversible electroporation, also known as pulsed-field ablation (PFA). 

Evidence indicates that this nonthermal ablation method treats AF with good durability and faster procedure times than conventional ablation techniques — and, most importantly, with low risk to adjacent structures.

This activity will focus on the indications for PFA, key safety considerations, technical aspects and outcomes.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the  comparable efficacy of PFA to thermal ablation methods and its potential for less atrial dwell time and reduced risk of collateral tissue damage.
  
• Summarize  the most relevant technical considerations in developing and delivering PFA therapies  in clinical practice.
  
• Describe the fundamentals of this technology to exploit its opportunities and generate viable, durable health improvements for patients.

Who Should Attend?

The course is directed to physicians, fellows, residents, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and all healthcare providers with an interest in electrophysiology.
