  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. Ablation stopped AFib in 81% of patients in new study - AOL

    Using real-world data, researchers found that 81.6% of patients were free from AFib one year after RF-based ablation - a higher percentage than attained in clinical trials.

    The subsequent formation of scar tissue disrupts the abnormal electrical signaling that causes AFib. A procedure to treat atrial fibrillation may be even more effective than previously ...

  5. Atrial fibrillation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atrial_fibrillation

    Atrial fibrillation (AF, AFib or A-fib) is an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atrial chambers of the heart. [11] [12] It often begins as short periods of abnormal beating, which become longer or continuous over time. [4]

  6. Intermittent fasting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermittent_fasting

    Fasting is an ancient tradition, having been practiced by many cultures and religions over centuries. [9] [13] [14]Therapeutic intermittent fasts for the treatment of obesity have been investigated since at least 1915, with a renewed interest in the medical community in the 1960s after Bloom and his colleagues published an "enthusiastic report". [15]

  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]

  8. 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).

  9. Palpitations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palpitations

    While catheter ablation is currently a common treatment approach, there have been advances in stereotactic radioablation for certain arrhythmias. [1] This technique is commonly used for solid tumors and has been applied with success in management of difficult to treat Ventricular Tachycardia and Atrial Fibrillation.
