The biophysics of ablation,made simple

Every ablation energy does one job: push a volume of myocardium past an injury threshold, through the whole wall, and stop short of what lies beyond. DC shock, RF, cryo and pulsed field differ only in what they deliver and what holds them back.

One engine sits under every module: a slice through catheter, blood and wall, solved live. Set the power, the contact, the flow or the freeze, and watch the lesion form. It starts with the defibrillator that began catheter ablation and the four pieces of physics underneath every energy, works through the catheters themselves — their tips, curves and force sensors — and ends at the field that kills without heat.
