Ablation: Doctor burns off the tiny parts of your heart that are
causing the abnormal beats. She threads a thin tube, called a catheter, through
a blood vessel in your leg or groin up to your heart.
Energy travels through the tube. It burns off the areas of
tissue that cause the abnormal signals. Scars form in the burned areas and
block any abnormal electrical signals.
After some ablation procedures, you'll need a pacemaker to
keep your heart in rhythm.
