The role of mapping in pulsed-field ablation (PFA) is a topic of ongoing debate amongst clinicians: is it essential for ensuring successful outcomes, or does it add unnecessary complexity to a procedure designed for precision and simplicity?

In this month's episode of Rhythm Interventions Unplugged, host Dr Devi Nair (St Bernards Heart & Vascular, US) is joined by leading electrophysiologists, Dr Andrea Natale (Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute, TX, US) and Dr Bradley Knight (Northwestern Medicine, Chicago, IL, US) to delve into this critical discussion.

In this episode, they explore what mapping during PFA entails, and how this differs from other ablation procedures, as well as the latest clinical evidence and technological advancements that have improved accuracy and efficiency. They discuss the future of integrated mapping in PFA devices, and expert advice for electrophysiologists considering the use of mapping during PFA.
