The cohort will be patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) who undergo PVI using this system.', 'detailedDescription': "Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia and is associated with a five-fold increase in stroke. Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) has become accepted treatment for AF. Historically, this has been achieved using thermal energy. However, more recently a new energy source known as pulsed field ablation (PFA) has been introduced. As PFA is tissue selective, it preserves the function of nearby structures such as the esophagus and phrenic nerve making it safer to use. As PFA is delivered in short bursts of high energy, it is also more efficient and leads to shorter procedures. However, the catheters designed to deliver PFA differ to those used previously and may not provide the same information about efficacy, making it more difficult for the operator to ascertain if the lesions have durably isolated the pulmonary vein. This exploratory observational study will assess the utility of a software module designed to measure the local potential derived from the unipolar electrogram recorded at the electrode that has delivered the PFA. During the procedure, the study will collect data only and all analysis of the output of the PFAnalyzer software module will be made off-line once the procedure is complete. The operator will follow the hospital's standard of care during the procedure, and the software module will not be used to guide therapy, nor will there be any additional time added to the procedure.\n\nThe study is a prospective, exploratory observational study with the ECGenius® System and the PFAnalyzer software module in PFA cases using the FaraPulse PFA system. The cohort will be patients with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) who undergo PVI using this system."}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'maximumAge': '85 Years', 'minimumAge': '21 Years', 'samplingMethod': 'NON_PROBABILITY_SAMPLE', 'studyPopulation': 'Patients diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and referred for a denovo pulmonary vein isolation ablation procedure using pulsed field ablation', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': "Inclusion Criteria:\n\nEligible subjects will meet all of the following inclusion criteria:\n\n1.
