Atrial Fibrillation Radiofrequency Ablation

Atrial Fibrillation Radiofrequency Ablation Video Clips. Duration : 1.88 Mins.

Atrial Fibrillation Radiofrequency Ablation will be the focus of a live webcast, hosted by Hartford Hospital from 6 to 7 pm EDT (22:00 UTC). The most common form of arrhythmia, ATRIAL FIBRILLATION (A-fib) affects some 2 million Americans each year. This interruption in the regular heartbeat impairs the heart's ability to perform effectively, and can result in stroke, congestive heart failure or cardiomyopathy. Origins of the disorder are not clearly understood, but chances of developing it increase with age.When medications and other conventional interventions fail to restore a normal heartbeat, radiofrequency ablation is a leading option. The electrophysiology experts at Hartford Hospital are...

Meet the Catheter Ablation Procedure Experts at JFK Medical Center

Meet the Catheter Ablation Procedure Experts at JFK Medical Center Video Clips. Duration : 0.78 Mins.

In order to do an ablation for atrial fibrillation, you really need to have a critical mass of things. You can't just have a doctor who knows how to do the ablation or has the surgical skill to do the ablation. You can't just have a four million dollar electrophysiology lab with state of the art x-rays, with state of the art mapping systems. You can't just have an anesthesiologist who knows how to deliver cardiac anesthesia. You can't just have a staff of nurses who knows how to set up the room and assist the doctor. You need to have it all. You need to have a critical mass of people in order to successfully and safely do this procedure. I like to think that at JFK Medical Center, we have it all. We have everything we need to safely and hopefully effectively fix a-fib in most patients who have atrial fibrillation.
