Learn the story behind the invention of FARAPULSE pulse field ablation; an advanced treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib) that delivers precisely timed electrical pulses that selectively inactivate the problematic heart cells while leaving nearby critical structures like the esophagus, nerves, and blood vessels unharmed.

Compared to traditional thermal ablation methods, pulsed field ablation increases procedural safety, speed, and ease of use, leading it to become one of the fastest adopted treatments in medical device history. The most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, AFib affects more than 10 million Americans and dramatically increases the risk of stroke, heart failure, and dementia.
