Pulsed electrical field (PEF) ablation is a promising novel ablation modality for the treatment of arrhythmia, especially for atrial fibrillation (AF). There have been several important advances in PEF ablation over the past several years, such as the parameters of PEF delivery and electrode Design. And the results in almost all clinical studies of PEF for AF ablation are optimistic, both in terms of effectiveness and safety. This article provides a brief overview of the mechanism and technical progress of PEF ablation in cardiac arrhythmia treatment, and discuss it's potential applications and the future development.
脉冲电场（PEF）消融是一种很有前景的新型心律失常治疗消融方式，尤其适用于心房颤动（AF）。在过去几年中，PEF消融取得了几项重要进展，如PEF施加参数和电极设计。几乎所有关于PEF用于AF消融的临床研究结果在有效性和安全性方面都很很乐观。本文简要概述了PEF消融在心律失常治疗中的机制和技术进展，并探讨了其潜在应用和未来发展。
