TL;DR Summary

A newly approved procedure called pulsed field ablation (PFA) is offering hope to patients with atrial fibrillation, a rapidly growing heart disorder in the U.S. Unlike the traditional method of cardiac ablation, PFA uses a non-thermal, high amplitude electrical field to quickly and effectively treat faulty heart tissue in just minutes, with minimal collateral damage.
