Arrhythmia ablation is a medical procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. It involves the use of catheters to deliver energy, such as radiofrequency or cryotherapy, to specific areas of heart tissue responsible for the irregular electrical signals. This process aims to destroy or isolate these problematic areas, restoring a normal heart rhythm. It's often performed in patients who do not respond to medication or other therapies.

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.
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 are some common symptoms of heart rr and how can it be effectively managed?
Common symptoms of heart arrhythmia include palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath, and chest pain. It can be effectively managed through lifestyle changes, medication, and medical procedures such as ablation therapy or implantation of a pacemaker. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare provider are important for managing heart arrhythmia effectively.
Which sections of the cpt contain codes for arrhythmia?
Codes for arrhythmias are primarily found in the CPT (Current Procedural Terminology) under the section for "Cardiovascular" procedures. Specifically, you can find them in the range of codes from 93000 to 93799, which includes various diagnostic tests and management options for arrhythmias. Additionally, codes for specific arrhythmia interventions, such as catheter ablation or device implantation, are also included in this section.
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.
