Overview
This CME programme 'The Clinical Evidence Behind Pulse Field Ablation: Safe, Simple & Effective?', co-chaired by Dr Claire Martin (Royal Papworth Hospital, UK) and Prof Josef Kautzner (Charles University Medical School, Czech Republic) present and discuss a series of topics surrounding the clinical evidence behind pulsed field ablation (PFA).
Dr Vivek Reddy (The Mount Sinai Hospital, US) and Dr Boris Schmidt (Centrum Bethanien, Germany) provide an overview focusing on two clinical trials: MANIFEST-PF and EUPORIA, covering trial designs and outlining the main outcomes.
In the latter part of the programme, Dr Mattias Duytschaever (University of Ghent, Belgium) dives into the fast evolving field of PFA and a look into the different PFA systems, whilst also touching on emerging clinical data and technologies such as PULSED-AF, InspIRE & smartfIRE and ADVENT & ADVANTAGE.

Terms & Conditions
Radcliffe Education requires contributors to our CME programmes to disclose any relevant financial relationships that have occurred within the past 12 months that could create a conflict of interest. These will be identified in the faculty section if applicable.
The session ‘The Clinical Evidence Behind Pulse Field Ablation: Safe, Simple & Effective?', is accredited by the European Board for Accreditation in Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) for 1 hour of external CME credits.
Each participant should claim only those hours of credit that have actually been spent in the educational activity. EBAC works according to the quality standards of the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME), which is an institution of the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS).
Through an agreement between the European Board for Accreditation in Continuing Education for Health Professionals (EBAC) and the American Medical Association, physicians may convert EBAC External CME credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EBAC credit to AMA credit can be found on the AMA website.
