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.
