AF Ablation

Atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation is a medical procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms originating in the upper chambers of the heart. During the procedure, a doctor threads thin wires or catheters through blood vessels to the heart. They use these to identify the areas causing irregular electrical signals. Then, they apply heat or cold (ablation) to destroy or isolate those tissue spots, helping restore normal heart rhythm. This minimally invasive treatment can reduce symptoms like palpitations and the risk of stroke associated with AF.
