Atrial Fibrillation Energy Sources and Ablation Approaches – Who Gets What?

Speaker:

Omair K. Yousuf, MD - Cardiac Electrophysiologist, Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of Virginia Health, Inova Heart and Vascular Institute, Carient Heart and Vascular

Moderator(s):

Christina Koutras, BSN, RN, CPHQ - Director NCDR Registry Products & Quality Programs, American College of Cardiology

Sarah Lash, MS - Registry Product Manager, American College of Cardiology

Description:
​​Join us as we compare and contrast AFib ablation energy types (i.e., radiofrequency energy, Cryoenergy, Pulsed Field, and Laser energy). You will leave with a clearer picture of how different energy sources are applied in clinical practice and their value.​ 

Learning Objectives:

• ​​Identify one difference between AFib energy sources.​
• Demonstrate the different modalities of the AFib ablation procedure.
• Assess the purpose and future directions of pulsed field ablation technology.
