In this episode of EP Edge® Journal Watch, Dr. Sharma reviews Issue 22, May 2026, focused on the next phase of electrophysiology: pulsed field ablation safety, lesion durability, long-term AF recurrence, one-stop AF procedures, device simplification, PAC suppression, and the evolving definition of ablation success. This issue begins with the Ferro EHRA 2026 real-world comparison of pulsed field ablation versus radiofrequency ablation for atrial fibrillation, highlighting why PFA safety should be interpreted by endpoint, workflow, platform, and lesion strategy rather than as a single global claim. The episode then examines NAVIGATE-PF Phase 2, a systematic remapping study of a s...
