Some people asked me about my cardiac ablation procedure. It will be on October 16th, it will, if successful, stop my heart from going into fibrillation so much. Some info on the procedure, its no big deal. So okay next order of business VOTE WHAT IS RADIOFREQUENCY CATHETER ABLATION? Radiofrequency ablation is a procedure that can cure many types of fast heart beats. Using special wires or catheters that are threaded into the heart, radiofrequency energy (low-voltage, high-frequency electricity) is targeted toward the area(s) causing the abnormal heart rhythm, permanently damaging small areas of tissue with heat. In some cases, cryoablation, which damages tissue by freezing rather than heating, may be used rather than radiofrequency energy. The damaged tissue is no longer capable of generating or conducting electrical impulses. If the procedure is successful, this prevents the arrhythmia from being generated, curing the patient. That would be nice.
