Abstract
Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is an emerging technology that utilizes ultra-short high-voltage electric pulses to create nanopores in cell membranes, leading to cell death through irreversible electroporation (IRE). PFA is touted to be highly tissue-selective, which may mitigate the risk of collateral injury to vital adjacent structures. In the field of cardiac electrophysiology, initial studies have shown promising results for acute pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and lesion durability, with overall freedom from recurrent atrial arrhythmia comparable to traditional thermal ablation modalities. While further large studies are required for long-term efficacy and safety data, PFA has the potential to become a preferred energy source for cardiac ablation for some indications. This review outlines the basic principles and biophysics of IRE and its application to cardiac electrophysiology through a review of the existing preclinical and clinical data.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
