Cardiac electrophysiology is a minimally invasive procedure during which a system of catheter electrodes is inserted directly into the heart cavity through a puncture of the main vein (femoral or subclavian) under the control of a monitoring device. Then, the heart rate is recorded, electrical stimulation is performed, and the pulse conduction characteristics are recorded.
Radiofrequency catheter ablation of the heart (RFA) is one of the most modern methods of treating arrhythmias, in which radiofrequency (electrical) energy is applied to the area of the heart where the arrhythmic lesion is located. As a result, the diseased tissue is destroyed and the production of electrical impulses that cause rhythm disturbances in the heart stops. Ablation is also an alternative to medical methods of treating arrhythmias, allowing you to completely eliminate cardiac pathology and refuse regular medication.
