Excerpt
Perturbations within the autonomic nervous system (ANS) exert profound influences on cardiac function and rhythm. Atrial fibrillation (AF) stands out as the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia, representing a considerable challenge in terms of rhythm control, boasting a steadily increasing prevalence affecting over 50 million individuals globally [
1]. Over the years, significant advancements have been made in the quest for solutions that alleviate the AF burden and its complications, with current success rates oscillating between 50 and 70%. The exploration of diverse energy modalities has been extensive, with the latest promising frontier being Pulse Field Ablation (PFA), heralding a potential paradigm shift in the therapeutic landscape. …
