In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common sustained arrhythmia in adult population. According to current guidelines for the management of AF, radiofrequency (RF) ablation (including at least pulmonary vein isolation \[PVI\]) is a validated therapeutic option for persistent AF. Recently, Pulsed-field ablation (PFA) - a new non-thermal energy - has been used to treat paroxysmal and persistent AF with a high success rate in observational studies. This new technology is based on tissue-specificity on myocardium, avoiding collateral damages on adjacent structures. Before confirming a superiority of PFA over existing thermal energies, prospective studies concerning an exclusive population of persistent AF patients are needed, with rigorous assessment of the recurrences using continuous monitoring (insertable cardiac monitor \[ICM\]). PFA efficacy using ICM has never been evaluated. Before co
