Overview

Case report shows pulsed field ablation improves cardiac function in acute heart failure, indicating its potential with ECMO.

Key Points

  • Pulsed field ablation restored sinus rhythm and improved cardiac function in a patient with acute heart failure.
  • After ablation, echocardiographic assessment indicated improved biventricular function three weeks post-procedure.
  • The approach involved the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation to support the patient during treatment.
  • This case underscores the efficacy of pulsed field ablation for managing atrial fibrillation in critically ill patients.
