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. This groundbreaking procedure, recently approved by the FDA, provides a promising alternative for patients who were not candidates for cardiac ablation, potentially improving their quality of life and reducing recovery time.
