Effect of contact force on pulsed field ablation lesions in porcine cardiac tissue

Contact force has been used to titrate lesion formation for radiofrequency ablation. Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a field‐based ablation technology for which limited evidence on the impact of contact force on lesion size is available.
