Source sentences:
text: Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radiofrequency energy (similar to microwave heat) to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing rapid and irregular heartbeats.
text: Catheter ablation is a procedure used to remove or terminate a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the hearts of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardias (SVT) and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW syndrome).
text: Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation is a procedure that involves using radiofrequency energy to destroy areas of heart tissue that are causing the heart to beat with an irregular rhythm.
text: Catheter ablation is a procedure to restore the heart’s incorrect electrical signals which cause an abnormal heart rhythm.
text: Catheter ablation is a procedure to treat cardiac arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation (AF), to eliminate muscle fibers in the chambers of the heart that trigger and sustain abnormal rhythms.
text: Catheter ablation is a procedure performed to treat some types of arrhythmia.
text: Catheter ablation (CA) is a procedure performed by an electrophysiologist, a cardiologist who specializes in heart rhythm problems, to restore the heart's normal rhythm by electrically isolating the left atrium from the pulmonary veins, where most abnormal electrical activity that promotes atrial fibrillation originates.
text: Catheter ablation is a procedure used to selectively eliminate (damage or get rid of) the heart cells causing heart rhythm disturbances ("arrhythmias").
text: Catheter ablation is a procedure that is successful for many people with AFib, although the success rates can vary widely.
text: One way is cardiac catheter ablation, a procedure that corrects a heart rhythm problem by selectively destroying areas of the heart that are triggering the abnormal rhythm.
