What is heart ablation?
Cardiac ablation is used to eliminate heart arrhythmia ( a disruption in the regularity of the heartbeat ) , caused by improper arrangement or placement within the heart.
Accelerated junctional arrhythmia with a complete AV block?
My physician mentioned a possible fix (ablation) to attempt to correct an 'Accelerated Junctional Arrhythmia' in addition to me already having a Pacemaker to support my 'Complete AV Heart Block'. He did not go into detail, and we will re visit this discussion in the coming week. He says it may not be any easy procedure. Exactly what type of ablation is he talking about about and what could he have possibly meant by this procedure not being too easy?
What can someone expect when undergoing an ablation procedure?
When a person needs to undergo an ablation procedure, it is to fix an irregularly fast heartbeat, known as an arrhythmia. Because it is non-surgical, a patient will only be given a mild sedative. During the procedure, a patient can feel some pressure at the site of the insertion, but pain is not excessive.
How does a doctor treat heart disease?
The treatment will depend upon the type of heart disease. It will involve drugs, intervention like angioplasty and stenting, laser ablation for arrhythmia, bypass surgery and heart transplant
What are alternatives are there to myocardial resection in the prevention arrhythmia generation?
new techniques allow for minimally invasive procedures to be performed, including radiofrequency ablation performed in an electrophysiology laboratory with mild sedation, instead of general anesthetic.
The removal of a body part or the destruction of its function?
Ablation
What must be determined about the heartbeat before a catheter ablation is conducted?
Abnormalities in different areas of the heart cause different types of irregular heartbeats; the type of arrhythmia must be clearly defined before this procedure can be properly done.
What year was arrhythmia discovered?
You will have to list which arrhythmia.
What does the medical term ablation mean?
Ablation means destruction.
Is arrhythmia communicable or noncommunicable?
No. You can not get an arrhythmia from another person.
How can you use arrhythmia in a sentence?
An arrhythmia is an irregular heartbeat.
What aftercare is necessary following a catheter ablation?
Being sure the patient is comfortable during and after this procedure is very important. Because each person may have a different arrhythmia and possibly other medical problems as well, each patient's needs must be evaluated individually.
