    <abstract locale="en_US">The European Society of Cardiology Congress (ESC) 2025 in Madrid delivered a concentrated set of
&#xD;
clinical trials with immediate relevance to practice across cardiology subspecialties. While the congress
&#xD;
spanned topics from hypertension and coronary disease to cardiomyopathies and device therapy, a subset
&#xD;
of trials is especially salient for electrophysiologists: comparative outcomes of pulsed-field vs
&#xD;
radiofrequency ablation in atrial fibrillation (AF); strategies for anticoagulation after successful AF ablation;
&#xD;
and broader therapeutic advances (oral myosin inhibitors for obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
&#xD;
[HCM]) that shift paradigms in medical management. Here, I summarize these trial findings, discuss their
&#xD;
electrophysiology implications, and propose priorities for future research and guideline consideration.</abstract>
