Ablation
Cardiac ablation is being used to cure many arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation in selected patients. In this procedure, one or more flexible, thin tubes are guided by X-rays into blood vessels and directed to the heart muscle. Then radiofrequency energy is delivered to destroy very tiny areas of tissue that give rise to abnormal electrical signals.
