Zusammenfassung:The invention comprises an apparatus for performing cardiac ablation by electroporation comprising: an applicator comprising a plurality of electrodes (16) each operable in use to supply an electrical potential across cells within an area of tissue (12); and a means to control the waveform of the electrical potential supplied by the plurality of electrodes, configured to provide a biphasic, truncated waveform with leading and trailing edges of differing magnitude.
