    Electrophysiology

    Diagnosis and catheter-based treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

    Reviewed by Christian Espinosa, Founder, Blue Goat CyberLast reviewed May 5, 2026

    Definition

    Electrophysiology covers catheter ablation (radiofrequency, cryo, and pulsed field), 3D mapping systems, and intracardiac echo for treating atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, and other arrhythmias.

    What this means in practice

    Pulsed field ablation (PFA) - Medtronic Affera, Boston Scientific Farapulse, J&J Varipulse - is reshaping the AF market with tissue-selective, faster procedures. Mapping systems (CARTO, EnSite, Rhythmia) drive catheter pull-through.
