The clinical outcomes of the Globe PF system use in HD mapping and pulsed-field ablation for atrial fibrillation, are discussed in this touchCARDIO interview with Dr Atul Verma (Southlake Regional Health Centre, Newmarket, Ontorio, Canada). Pulsed field ablation is an innovative therapy that uses electric fields to treat heart tissue. PFA delivered by the Globe PF System is unique in that it achieves true single-shot isolation and also provides high-definition mapping.

The abstract entitled ‘The Globe PF System: A Complete Solution for High-Definition Mapping and Pulsed-Field Ablation for AF’ was presented at the annual AF Symposium, January 13-15, 2022.
