Comparative data on ERAT incidence across energy modalities, including pulsed field ablation (PFA), high\u2010power short\u2010duration (HPSD), very high\u2010power short\u2010duration (vHPSD), and cryoballoon ablation, are limited.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Objectives<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>To assess and compare the incidence and timing of ERAT following PVI using four ablation technologies.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In this single\u2010center observational cohort study, 671 consecutive patients undergoing first\u2010time PVI were screened.

ERAT was defined as a clinically detected episode of atrial fibrillation or atrial tachycardia lasting &gt;30 s within 90 days after PVI, documented by 12\u2010lead ECG or Holter monitoring during scheduled or clinically indicated rhythm surveillance.
