What is Catheter Ablation?
Catheter ablation is a treatment procedure performed to treat some kinds of arrhythmia, in which there are problems related to the heartbeat rhythm.
How is Catheter Ablation Performed?
An ablation catheter, which is a thin, long and flexible tube, is inserted into a blood vessel in the arm, groin or neck.
The catheter is guided into the heart thought the blood vessel.
Radiofrequency (RF) energy is sent from a special machine through the ablation catheter into the heart.
Tissues of the heart where abnormal heartbeats occur are destroyed by the energy.

Various tests including chest X-ray, ECG and blood tests need to be conducted before the procedure.
