Pearls and Pitfalls of Pulsed Field Ablation
Korean Circulation Journal, 2023 Pulsed field ablation (PFA) was recently rediscovered as an emerging treatment modality for the ablation of cardiac arrhythmias. Ultra-short high voltage pulses are leading to irreversible electroporation of cardiac cells subsequently resulting in cell death.

Myocardial electroporation — an alternative to thermal methods of atrial fibrillation treatment
Рациональная фармакотерапия в кардиологии, 2023 Atrial fibrillation is one of the most common cardiac arrhythmias. By all estimates, the number of patients with this arrhythmia will only increase. Currently, the main and most used methods for the treatment of atrial fibrillation are radiofrequency and
