Cardiac Ablation

Cardiac Ablation

A cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure to treat arrhythmia. An EP study is performed immediately leading up to the Cardiac Ablation. During the cardiac ablation, the electrophysiologist uses a special catheter to apply hot or cold energy to the heart tissue that is producing the abnormal electrical signals. This creates scarring that helps block the abnormal signals and restore a regular heartbeat.
