   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AF_ablation

   Atrial fibrillation is associated with an increased risk of heart failure, dementia, and stroke. [3] [12] It is a type of supraventricular tachycardia. [14] Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [15]

5. Radiofrequency ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiofrequency_ablation

   Radiofrequency ablation (RFA), also called fulguration, [1] is a medical procedure in which part of the electrical conduction system of the heart, tumor, sensory nerves or a dysfunctional tissue is ablated using the heat generated from medium frequency alternating current (in the range of 350–500 kHz).

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_field_ablation

   Atrial fibrillation frequently results from bursts of tachycardia that originate in muscle bundles extending from the atrium to the pulmonary veins. [4] Pulmonary vein isolation ablation technology has used thermal methods (radiofrequency ablation or, less often, cryoablation) to destroy pulmonary vein cells. [5]
