Heart Arrhythmia Catheter Ablation
Heart ablation surgery is a procedure aimed at creating controlled scars in the heart tissues to eliminate abnormal electrical signals responsible for irregular heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. This technique employs energy to disrupt these irregular signals and restore normal heart rhythm for the patient.
Symptoms
Common signs and symptoms of arrhythmias encompass:
- A sensation of fluttering in the chest.
- A rapid heartbeat known as tachycardia.
- A slow heartbeat referred to as bradycardia.
- Chest pain.
- Shortness of breath.
Additional symptoms might involve:
- Feelings of anxiety.
- Fatigue.
- Lightheadedness or dizziness.
- Excessive sweating.
- Episodes of fainting (syncope) or near-fainting.
When to access Medical Care
In some cases, your heart’s normal rhythm can be disrupted, leading to an abnormal heartbeat or arrhythmia. When traditional treatments like medications or other interventions are ineffective, your doctor may recommend cardiac ablation as a potential solution.
Cardiac ablation may be recommended if:
Medications to treat arrhythmias have not yielded successful results.
You have experienced severe side effects from arrhythmia medications.
Your specific type of arrhythmia is known to respond well to ablation, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or supraventricular tachycardia.
You are at a high risk of complications from arrhythmias, including the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
Determinants of risk
Cardiac ablation is generally considered a safe procedure, but like any medical intervention, it carries potential risks and complications. It’s essential to have a thorough discussion with your doctor to weigh the benefits against the risks and determine if cardiac ablation is the right choice for your specific condition. Some possible risks associated with cardiac ablation include:
Bleeding or infection at the catheter insertion site.
Damage to blood vessels or heart valves.
Development of new or worsening arrhythmias.
Bradycardia (slow heart rate), which may require a pacemaker for correction.
Formation of blood clots in the legs or lungs (venous thromboembolism).
Risk of stroke or heart attack.
Narrowing of veins that carry blood between the lungs and heart (pulmonary vein stenosis).
Kidney damage from the dye used during the procedure.
In extremely rare cases, death.
Your doctor will carefully evaluate your individual situation and discuss the potential risks and benefits to help you make an informed decision about undergoing cardiac ablation.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
