Patients may feel a fluttering in the chest, chest pain, shortness of breath and dizziness or lightheadedness as a result. Unfortunately, ablation also destroys healthy heart tissue in the process. Current ablation procedures destroy heart tissue and tend to worsen heart function.

Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common type of heart rhythm disorder (arrhythmia), affecting over 6 million Americans, and the number is expected to double by 2030. Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that disables portions of heart tissue that cause irregular heart rhythms. “In This is a complex disease.
