Cardiac Ablation
Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure designed to correct abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) by creating targeted scar tissue within the heart. These scars serve as electrical barriers, interrupting abnormal electrical signals and restoring normal rhythm.
Traditionally, cardiac ablation is performed using techniques such as radiofrequency ablation, which involves burning heart tissue, or cryoablation, which involves freezing it. Both methods aim to disrupt the faulty electrical pathways causing the arrhythmia.
