What is Cardiac Ablation?
Cardiac ablation uses energy—radiofrequency or cryotherapy—to create tiny scars in heart tissue, blocking abnormal electrical signals. It is a common treatment for arrhythmias like atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia.
This procedure helps to:
- Correct irregular heart rhythms
- Reduce palpitations and fainting episodes
- Lower stroke risk from atrial fibrillation
- Improve exercise tolerance and energy
- Reduce reliance on long-term medications
What to expect after Cardiac Ablation?
Most patients stay overnight for monitoring. Mild chest soreness or fatigue is common but temporary. Rhythm stabilization continues over weeks.
- Observation for several hours post-procedure
- Mild chest or groin discomfort
- Possible temporary palpitations during healing
- Fatigue for a few days
- Full rhythm improvement over 2–3 months
