What is arrhythmia ablation?

Arrhythmia ablation is a medical procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. It involves the use of catheters to deliver energy, such as radiofrequency or cryotherapy, to specific areas of heart tissue responsible for the irregular electrical signals. This process aims to destroy or isolate these problematic areas, restoring a normal heart rhythm. It's often performed in patients who do not respond to medication or other therapies.
