Key waveform variables include monophasic vs. biphasic pulses, microsecond vs. nanosecond pulse widths, duty cycle, and total application duration. Catheter design further determines electric field distribution, lesion geometry, current density, and applicability across anatomic targets, with important distinctions between bipolar and monopolar configurations.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Modelling and safety<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Experimental and computational approaches used to investigate PFA include finite element simulations, cell culture systems, vegetal substrates, and in vivo animal models, each with distinct strengths and limitations. High-voltage pulse delivery can also produce unintended effects, including Joule heating, electrochemical reactions, bubble formation, arcing, and interactions with implanted electronic devices. These phenomena highlight the importance of optimized waveform design, electrode configuration, and safety monitoring.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Clinical usability<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Clinical adoption depends not only on biological efficacy and safety but also on workflow efficiency, catheter versatility, procedure duration, mapping integration, anaesthesia requirements, and adaptability to differing clinical practices and geographic settings.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The performance of a PFA system reflects the interaction of biophysics, waveform characteristics, catheter design, modelling, safety controls, and procedural usability.
