2. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

   Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radio-frequency energy or other sources to terminate or modify a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the heart of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

3. 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).

4. Electrophysiology study - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiology_study

   Once the catheter is in and all preparations are complete elsewhere in the lab, the EP study begins. The X-ray machine will give the doctor a live view of the heart and the position of the electrodes. He will guide the (steerable) electrodes to the correct position inside the heart.

7. Pulsed field ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulsed_field_ablation

   Pulsed field ablation (PFA) is a non-thermal (not using extreme heat or cold) method of biological ablation (removal of structure or functionality) utilizing high-amplitude pulsed (microsecond duration) electric fields to create irreversible electroporation in tissues. [1] [2] It is used most widely to treat tumors or cardiac arrhythmias. [3]
