HRS is developing a first-of-its-kind Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) data collection platform to advance how atrial fibrillation is studied and treated. Powered by advanced automation, AI, and direct EHR integration, the platform will capture high-fidelity, real-world clinical data while dramatically reducing burden on clinical sites. The goal: faster evidence, better insights, and improved patient outcomes. “The development of the HRS PFA data collection platform represents a turning point in how we study and treat atrial fibrillation,” said HRS President Mina K. Chung, MD, FHRS. “By combining cutting-edge technology with a national infrastructure, we are creating opportunities to not only reduce the burden on clinical sites but also deliver regulatory-grade evidence needed to guide innovations, inform policy, and improve patient care. This initiative will ensure that every procedure contributes to a deeper understanding of atrial fibrillation and helps shape the future of cardiac care.” The pilot program is planned for early 2026.
