Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a novel method of cardiac ablation in which electrical fields are used to create microscopic pores in the cardiomyocyte cell membrane resulting in cell death. Unlike traditional thermal radiofrequency and cryoablation technologies, PFA is cardiomyocyte preferential, reducing the risk of collateral damage to the esophagus and phrenic nerve.
