Abstract or project description

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is a major source of morbidity and mortality in healthcare today. This paper begins with a review of AF. This includes epidemiology, etiology, pathophysiology, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis. Next, pulsed field ablation (PFA) is reviewed. This section covers the history, mechanism, advantages, and disadvantages of PFA. A summary of the major animal studies and clinical studies that have been done is included as well. The section will conclude with what the future of PFA holds and what further action is needed.
