Arrhythmia Surgery

Arrhythmia surgery is a medical procedure aimed at correcting abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias, which can lead to serious health issues. During the surgery, doctors may use various techniques, such as catheter ablation, to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing the irregular heartbeat. In some cases, surgeons might implant devices like pacemakers to help regulate the heart's rhythm. The goal of the surgery is to restore a normal heartbeat, improve heart function, and reduce symptoms, enhancing overall quality of life for the patient. It is typically considered after other treatments have not been effective.
