Ablation

Ablation is a medical process of eliminating the tissues that cause abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) or electrical signals intervention. This is mostly accomplished with the use of radiofrequency energy, cryotherapy by freezing the tissue or using laser energy. The main purpose of ablation is to cure different types of arrhythmias and help to stop symptoms that appear during illness. The procedure is less invasive, which is usually done in a specific room known as electrophysiology laboratory.

Patients who may require ablation often experience:

Palpitations: Palpitations that refer to awareness of heart beating too fast, too strong or in an irregular manner.
Dizziness or Lightheadedness: A sense of light headedness or dizziness and this is also related to a heart rhythm irregularity.
Shortness of Breath: Shortness of breath, or shortness of breath with activity or at rest.
Chest Pain: Pain or a discomfort in sternum area which may be linked to arrhythmias.
Fatigue: Chest pains or pressure, tingling in the arms and legs or weakness that might be from poor pumping of the heart because of irregular rhythms.

So here’s when you should go for a medical check-up.

Symptoms Collapse Symptoms

Frequent Palpitations: Episodes of activity that includes palpitations, that is, literal audiovisual perceptions of a rapid or irregular heartbeat.
Persistent Dizziness: Dizziness or light-headedness that is constant or very frequent and interferes with one’s usual tasks.
Breathing Difficulties: New onset dyspnoea, or worsened dyspnoea not attributable to other causes.
Chest Discomfort: Chronic or severe, possibly rhythmic, discomfort localized to the chest area.
Uncontrolled Arrhythmias: If you use drugs or devices to treat your arrhythmia and the condition is not responding to medication or other treatment.

When to Go for a Medical Check-up Collapse When to Go for a Medical Check-up

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): Abnormal, unsteady heart rhythm which sometimes occurs at a very fast pace and which can be in a way dangerous including causing stroke.
Atrial Flutter: Specific type of Arrhythmia that involves fast rate of beating of the atria (the first and the second chambers of the heart).
Ventricular Tachycardia (VT): A rapid heart rate due to the impulses of the ventricles of the heart which are the lower chambers of the heart.
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): A condition whereby the heart rate commences at a rate above the ventricles of the heart.
Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs): There is extra, abnormal heartbeats that start at the ventricles of the heart.

Causes Collapse Causes

The diagnostic process for determining the need for ablation involves:

Medical History and Symptoms: Asking the patient about the symptoms and risk factors concerning arrhythmias as well as past medical history.
Electrocardiogram (ECG): electrocardiography- capturing electrical signals of the heart in order to diagnose irregular heart beats.
Holter Monitor: A portable ECG recording instrument used for 24-48 hours during the person’s normal daily activities.
Electrophysiological Study (EPS): A test that uses electrical signals to diagnose the cause of irregular heartbeat, it like the common stress test but Is more specific.
Stress Test: Testing of the ability of the pump and the rhythms of the heart during such activities as exercises and stress.

Diagnosis Collapse Diagnosis

The ablation procedure typically includes:

Preparation: It is executed under local anaesthesia, and thus, the patient has to prepare fasting for several hours before the procedure and may have to stop taking some medications. The procedure may be done under local anaesthesia or under general anaesthesia .
Catheter Insertion: The catheters can be introduced through the vein found in the groin or the neck and then is drove to the heart using fluoroscopy (X-ray).
Ablation Procedure: Once in place, the catheter applies energy (electrical or RF energy or cryoenergy) to specific regions of the heart tissue which helps in eliminating or isolating the abnormally functioning electrical pathways.
Post-Procedure Care: The patients are observed for some few hours to confirm that there is no adverse effect that might arise after surgery. Recovery of the individual usually takes place in a hospital and after that outpatient appointments to review the results of the surgery.
Long-Term Management: It is therefore important to continue with follow-up to determine whether the heart rhythm is in order showing that the arrhythmia has been addressed. Thus, certain changes to registered lifestyles may be provided as well as medications to enhance overall cardiovascular health.
