In EP Edge® Journal Watch Issue 30, July 2026, we explore the next phase of cardiac electrophysiology, from pulsed field ablation durability and physiologic pacing to neuromodulation, sleep, fitness, and lifetime arrhythmia risk. We begin with the first-in-human VISION AF study, which evaluates an endoscope-enabled pulsed field ablation balloon that allows direct visualization of the electrode-tissue interface. Chronic invasive remapping provides a close look at pulmonary vein isolation durability and raises an important question: could seeing tissue contact become the next major advance in PFA workflow? Two additional studies examine practical PFA safety signals. One evaluates hemolysis-associated ac...
