Electrical heart ablation using PFA technology: A new option for treating arrhythmia AF.
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a condition that can increase the risk of stroke and heart failure. Treatment using Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) technology is a new option that helps in targeted therapy by using high-voltage electricity to ablate the heart tissue that causes the problem, without affecting the surrounding tissues. It offers quick recovery, reduces complications, and provides satisfactory clinical outcomes.
