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
