Description
Fengwei Zou and co-authors test an AI-guided workflow for treating atrial fibrillation with pulsed field ablation. Their twenty twenty-six study uses sound imaging from inside the heart to build a 3D map of the left atrium. The AI module makes that map on its own, with no separate mapping catheter pass.
The workflow was first described for heat-based ablation. Here it is paired with pulsed field energy and a variable-loop round catheter. Patients were screened for the new energy method at the study centers. Outcomes tracked safety and freedom from rhythm relapse. Skipping the pre-map step could shorten and simplify a fast-growing heart procedure.
