Eight presentations, including late-breaking science, live cases, and a landmark symposium

CARDIFF-BY-THE-SEA, Calif., April 23, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Field Medical Inc., a leader in cardiac pulsed field ablation (PFA) technology, announced today its FieldForce™ Ablation System will be featured in eight scientific presentations at the 46^th annual Heart Rhythm Society (HRS) meeting, April 24–27, in San Diego, Calif.

HRS 2025, the premier global meeting for heart rhythm science, is expected to draw more than 9,000 attendees and 2,000 expert faculty. Field Medical joins this record-breaking lineup with eight presentations spanning live case demonstrations, poster sessions, and a flagship satellite symposium—culminating in the late-breaking VCAS trial on Sunday, April 27, where acute results from the first-in-human evaluation of focal PFA for scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) will be unveiled. This novel approach targets scar VT, a notoriously difficult arrhythmia marked by dense fibrotic substrates and high recurrence rates.

Field Medical's proprietary FieldForce Ablation System, a high-voltage, focal PFA catheter, will be featured across live cases, poster sessions and a flagship satellite symposium – spotlighting its potential to expand next-generation PFA access for complex cardiac ablation.

"For decades, VT has challenged even the most skilled electrophysiologists due to the complexity of the scar substrate," said Steven Mickelsen, MD, CEO and Founder of Field Medical. "With FieldForce we're not just iterating—we're redefining what's possible. This new focal PFA system has the potential to bring PFA to the areas of greatest unmet need in electrophysiology, and the momentum we're seeing at Heart Rhythm 2025 reflects that."

As part of Heart Rhythm 2025, Field Medical's participation underscores its commitment to advancing science, improving outcomes, and shaping the next chapter in VT and PFA innovation.
