Pulsed electrical field is interesting stuff. If it pans out it should greatly reduce complications like phrenic nerve injury.
The dailymail article is rather incoherent and misses the important points, but here are some pretty good results from a small clinical trial.

The PEF tech is interesting and promising research that needs larger scale testing with various ablation techniques.
On the other hand, I’m entirely skeptical of the AcQMAP approach using a modified Basket mapping catheter with ultrasonic crystals to, in essence, create a modified FIRM-like rotor mapping Hail Mary ... you can color me unimpressed and the articles promoting it are mostly hype and show very little useful data.
The breathless hype of “’major breakthrough” for yet another basket cathter rotor mapper is a big yawn that reflects very preliminary early stage small size prospective data.
However, those huge caveats nevertheless do not give the marketeers and pause at all in proclaiming anonholy grail that is sure to turn the ablation world on its head ... etc.
Frankly, I’m fed up with the entire rotor hype that, to this day, has been an abysmal failure in my view and that of the vast majority of most respected EPs on the planet.
My advice is do NOT jump the gun too soon on this one! Let the technology mature and truly prove itself in multiple well structured RCTs and earn the trust of the largest ablation research centers in the world as front line everyday ‘must have’ technology in these elite EP Labs around the globe ... and then we can talk turkey!
The fact they the marketing approach of this company is so closely similar to the over the top hype train reminiscent of the early FIRM method of “marketing promises first/ real data much later’ ... makes me super skeptical indeed.
I recommend putting this one on the back burner until it proves itself over the next 5 to 10 years of careful vetting via multiple totally independent RCTs
