Claim:
1. A system for treating cardiac arrhythmia, the system comprising: a first thermal treatment device configured for placement within a mammalian heart in contact with myocardial tissue; a second thermal treatment device configured for placement in contact with pericardial tissue; a first energy source in communication with the first thermal treatment device, the first energy source causing the first thermal treatment device to reach a first temperature sufficient to ablate myocardial tissue when the system is in use; a second energy source in communication with the second thermal treatment device, the second energy source causing the second thermal treatment device to reach a second temperature that is sufficient for cryoliposis of adipose tissue but insufficient to ablate the myocardial tissue when the system is in use; and concurrent operation of the first energy source and the second energy source causing the first thermal treatment device to reach the first temperature and the second thermal treatment device to reach the second temperature when the system is in use.
