Ablation of Myocardial Tissue With Nanosecond Pulsed Electric Fields.
BACKGROUND:Ablation of cardiac tissue is an essential tool for the treatment of arrhythmias, particularly of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and ventricular tachycardia. Current ablation technologies suffer from substantial recurrence rates, thermal side effects, and long procedure times. We de...
