Slide 3: Treatment modalities: Focus on Atrial fibrillation ablation
Treatment modalities: Focus on Atrial fibrillation ablation Electrophysiology, a cardiological discipline dedicated to the study, diagnosis and treatment of cardiac rhythm disorders, underwent its first revolution some 30 years ago with the use of radiofrequency energy, which allowed the development
Slide 4: Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy Most patients are treated with heat-based ablation using radiofrequency (RF) catheters, but this procedure has some risk of complications. Cryoablation helps physicians avoid these risks by using cold instead of heat to disable abnormal heart tissue. Unlike heat-based ablation, cryoablat
