Heart Rhythm TV Update: PFA Special Report - Summary of Science on Efficacy and Safety

Given the recent FDA approval of multiple PFA technologies for the ablation of atrial fibrillation, Heart Rhythm TV presents a summary of the current science of the efficacy and safety of PFA as many are adopting this new technology in their practices. #HRStv host Daniel M. Alyesh, MD, FHRS, sits down with Roderick Tung, MD, FHRS, and Atul Verma, MD, FHRS to review the following -
• Summaries of the efficacies in the major clinical trials, as well as safety events in the trials and registries.
• Issues with hemolysis and vasospasm in detail.
• Data on ICE guidance and modulation of autonomics.

Is there any study compared with RFA,PFA and cryoablation for PFA

[@tthams73]

Farapulse is the only PFA system that has been compared to both RF and Cryo.
