  2. Atrial fibrillation ablation - Mayo Clinic

    www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/atrial...

    Atrial fibrillation ablation is a treatment for an irregular and often very fast heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (AFib). The treatment uses heat or cold energy to create tiny scars in an area of the heart.

  3. Heart Ablation: Procedure, Risks and Recovery - Cleveland Clinic

    my.clevelandclinic.org/health/treatments/23047...

    Atrial fibrillation (Afib): Afib is the most common reason for heart ablation. When you have Afib, the upper chambers of your heart (called the atria) beat irregularly. The atria quiver instead of contracting. Without strong contractions, your heart can’t pump blood.

  4. AFib Ablation Procedure: What's Involved, Risks, Outcomes

    www.healthline.com/.../afib-ablation-procedure

    Ablation for atrial fibrillation (AFib) uses either hot or cold energy to destroy the tissue that’s causing an electrical disturbance in the heart. It can be very successful in restoring a normal...

  5. Preparing for and Recovery From Cardiac Ablation for AFib - WebMD

    www.webmd.com/heart-disease/atrial-fibrillation/...

    Doctors use two basic types of ablation to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib). Catheter ablation happens through a thin, flexible tube that goes into a blood vessel in your leg or neck.

  6. Cardiac ablation - Mayo Clinic

    www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/cardiac...

    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.

  7. AV node ablation - Type - Mayo Clinic

    www.mayoclinic.org/.../av-node-ablation/pyc-20384978

    AV node ablation is a treatment for an irregular and often very rapid heartbeat called atrial fibrillation (AFib). The treatment uses heat energy, called radiofrequency energy, to destroy a small amount of tissue between the upper and lower chambers of the heart.

  8. Atrial Fibrillation Ablation - Johns Hopkins Medicine

    www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/treatment-tests...

    Ablation is a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation. It uses small burns or freezes heart cells to cause some scarring on the inside of the heart. This helps break up or insulate the electrical signals that cause irregular heartbeats.

  9. Atrial Fibrillation and Ablation Therapy: A Patient’s Guide

    www.urmc.rochester.edu/getmedia/c2422118-3cbd-4a...

    Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm abnormality worldwide. AF is an irregular heart rhythm that originates in the top chambers of the heart called the atria. During AF, the electrical impulses of the heart do not start in the normal area.

  10. Catheter Ablation (CA) is an effective therapeutic option in treating atrial fibrillation (AF). Importantly, recent data show that CA as a rhythm control strategy not only significantly reduces AF burden, but also substantially improves clinical hard endpoints. Since AF is a progressive disease, the time of Diagnosis-to-Intervention appears ...
