Who Needs Catheter Ablation?
Your doctor may recommend catheter ablation if:
- You have an
arrhythmia
that medicine cant control.
- You cant tolerate the medicines your doctor
has prescribed for your arrhythmia.
- You have
certain
types of arrhythmia, such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome or some forms
of atrial
fibrillation.
- You have abnormal electrical activity in your
heart that raises your risk for ventricular fibrillation (a life-threatening
arrhythmia) and
sudden
cardiac arrest.
