With the increasing prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF), the demand for specialized electrophysiology (EP) care is growing, encompassing diverse patient populations with varying socioeconomic backgrounds, geographical distributions, and cultural and language differences.1 The advent of pulsed field ablation (PFA), integration of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms into 3-dimensional (3D) mapping systems, extravascular defibrillators, and leadless pacing systems call for a quick and safe adoption of technology. Furthermore, the intersection of disease processes such as AF in patients with cancer or pregnant patients highlights the necessity for further data collection, multidisciplinary and extradisciplinary research, and the development of specialized niches within EP.
