    Abstract: Methods of and systems for ablating cardiac tissue is disclosed. One example method includes monitoring an electrical signal of a heart of a patient. The electrical signal represents the heart beating. The method further includes determining, with an electronic processor and based on the electrical signal, an end-diastolic time period at an end of a diastolic time period during which diastole of the heart has occurred during a previous cardiac cycle. The method further includes determining, with the electronic processor and based on the electrical signal, that another cardiac cycle has begun. The method further includes causing, with the electronic processor, an electrode to deliver pulsed field ablation (PFA) energy to the heart during at least a portion of a time in which the end-diastolic time period of the another cardiac cycle is expected to occur.
