Expanding the potential patient population for pulsed field ablation, results from the SINGLE SHOT CHAMPION study suggest PFA might be just as good as cryoballoon ablation for patients with paroxysmal AFib. Paroxysmal atrial fibrillation is a type of AFib that causes short, intermittent episodes of irregular and rapid heartbeats originating in the atria.

Objective Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a new technology of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF). This research is to investigate the feasibility of a new strategy (transoesophageal echocardiography-guided pulsed field ablation, TEEP) to guide PFA for AF with no contrast and zero fluoroscopy. Methods Patients with AF underwent TEEP under general anaesthesia with the guidance of three-dimensional (3D) transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) throughout the procedure.

You are told that the ECG in Figure-1 has generated 2 different interpretations among emergency care providers. These 2 interpretations are: i ) That the wider beats in the long lead II rhythm strip are PVCs ( P remature V entricular C ontractions ) ; vs , ii ) That the wider beats ( ie, beats #2; 5,6; and #8,9 ) are PACs ( P remature A trial C ontractions ) with the QRS widening being the result of aberrant conduction.
