Heart ablation

Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that creates scars on heart tissue to stop the electrical impulses that cause irregular heart rhythms.

Cardiac (heart) ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy small areas of heart tissue that cause irregular heartbeats. In general, risks and complications are rare. When the procedure is done as part of a larger, open surgery, however, you need time in an ICU and at least a week in the hospital.

Find out how cardiac ablation sends a safe electrical pulse to the heart to treat an irregular heartbeat.

Catheter ablation, also called radiofrequency ablation, is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats.

Thanks to strides in Cardiac Ablation Therapy, countless people who suffer from atrial fibrillation (AFib) have been able to get the help they need through a minimally invasive procedure. Although the recovery time after an ablation procedure is significantly less than that of open heart surgery, there are still some…

A catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure for correcting heart arrhythmia. In some cases, it may be more effective than medications alone. Learn why.

Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses extreme heat, cold, or lasers to treat AFib, cancer, migraine, and many other conditions.
