Description
Matteo Anselmino and co-authors present a 2026 study that uses machine learning to forecast results of a heart rhythm procedure. Pulsed-field ablation can restore steady rhythm in atrial fibrillation, the most common rhythm disorder. The treatment reaches few patients, so picking those most likely to benefit matters for care and cost.
The study drew on a registry of 1,688 patients treated between 2022 and 2024 with one standard catheter system. Clinical and procedural variables trained five models to predict rhythm relapse within a year. Follow-up ran a median of one year. An explanation method ranked which factors drive each forecast. The authors aim to sharpen patient selection and tailor counseling before the procedure. The cohort is large and drawn from real practice across many centers.
