What exactly is cardiac ablation?
Cardiac ablation is a fancy name to describe a procedure that can terminate
the abnormal heart rhythms. The treatment
involves use of a flexible wire that is inserted through the groin vessel and
moved towards the heart. The origin of the abnormal heart rhythms in the heart
are located and destroyed by heat energy. This helps prevent abnormal heart rhythms.
In some cases, cardiac ablation is done during open heart surgery. Today most
cardiologists perform the ablation in the cardiac lab and there is no surgical
incision involved. Like any procedure, you need to be fasting for 8-12 hours.
You maybe told to stop taking some of your heart medications a few days prior
to the procedure.
