Key Terms

nanosecond pulsed field ablation technical

Nanosecond pulsed field ablation is a medical technique that uses extremely short, high‑voltage electrical pulses—each lasting billionths of a second—to selectively disable small areas of tissue, most often to treat irregular heart rhythms. Like a precise, ultra‑brief electric zap that spares surrounding structures, it matters to investors because it can shorten procedure time, reduce complications and recovery, and therefore reshape demand, pricing and adoption for cardiac ablation devices and related services.

nasdaq listing rule 5635(c)(4) regulatory

NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(c)(4) is a rule that requires a company to get approval from its shareholders before selling a large amount of its shares, usually over 20%. This helps protect investors by making sure the company doesn't flood the market with new shares without their say, which could lower the stock's value.
