A multicenter study has described and validated a new strategy for guiding ablation procedures in patients with complex tachycardias. Ablation procedures use energy—usually heat or cold—to eliminate small areas of heart tissue that cause pathological cardiac arrhythmias, thereby restoring normal heart rhythm.

Atrial fibrillation often shortened to AFib is an irregular and often rapid heart rhythm that can lead to serious health complications. This increases the pressure inside your ear and chest, which reduces some heart arrhythmias. Cardioversion – This procedure uses electrical shocks to restore a normal heart rhythm.
