Cardiac ablation (or catheter ablation) is a minimally invasive treatment for abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Healthcare providers use this procedure to find and treat abnormal tissue in your heart .

2024年2月2日 · Cardiac ablation is a treatment for irregular heartbeats, called arrhythmias. It uses heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in the heart. The scars block faulty heart signals and restore a typical heartbeat. Cardiac ablation is most often done using thin, flexible tubes called catheters that are inserted through a blood vessel.

2024年9月10日 · For people with heart problems, such as atrial fibrillation, ablation is used to correct the disorder and improve quality of life. Some types of ablation therapy are used instead of open surgery to spare healthy tissue and lower the risks of surgery.

2024年10月24日 · Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy (similar to microwave heat) to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats. Destroying this tissue helps restore your heart’s regular rhythm.

2024年10月3日 · Traditional cardiac ablation uses either heat or cold therapy to destroy tissue that's causing erratic heart rhythm. A new method called pulsed-field ablation (PFA) uses pulses of high...

2024年10月24日 · Heart ablation is a procedure that cardiologists (heart specialists) may recommend for people who have not responded well to medications or other treatments for an irregular heart rhythm and other heart conditions. The procedure involves inserting a catheter from the groin to the heart to look for the source of the problem.

Also known as a cardiac ablation or radiofrequency ablation, this procedure guides a tube into your heart to destroy small areas of tissue that may be causing your abnormal heartbeat. Not everyone with a heart arrhythmia needs a catheter ablation.

2024年2月24日 · Cardiac ablation, also called catheter ablation, is a minimally invasive procedure to treat heart rhythm problems or irregular heartbeats (which are medically known as arrhythmias). A...

Radiofrequency catheter ablation can offer a permanent cure for some types of arrhythmias, and is often a preferred method for conditions causing rapid heart rates, such as atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. This procedure involves the use of a specially designed catheter that is threaded through the leg and into the heart.

2024年2月16日 · Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses heat or cold energy to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing those arrhythmias. The goal is to block irregular electrical signals and restore the heart’s regular rhythm.
