Articles in Heart Rhythm highlight the urgent need to distinguish between harmful per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and essential fluoropolymers, which are used in medical technology. This image demonstrates the use of fluoropolymers poly(ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene) (ETFE) and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) in common cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) lead constructions.
