Brief Summary

This randomised study will compare pulsed field ablation and cryoballoon ablation with respect to ablation lesion quality as assessed by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) at 3 months post-ablation. Patients scheduled for first-time AF ablation will be randomised in a 2:1 fashion to receive PVI-only, either by pulsed field ablation (Farapulse Pulsed Field Ablation System, Boston Scientific) or cryoballoon ablation (Medtronic Cryoballoon Ablation System).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients scheduled for first-time atrial fibrillation catheter ablation Exclusion Criteria: * age \<18 years * long-standing persistent atrial fibrillation * prior left atrial ablation * pregnancy or lactation * reduced left ventricular ejection fraction * GFR \<30% * BMI \>35% * left atrial diameter \>55 mm * cardiac implantable electronic device
