Ablation

Cardiac catheter ablation is used to control irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia). It releases radiofrequency energy to scar the heart tissue that’s causing the arrhythmia. Depending on the type of arrhythmia you have, ablation offers success rates as high as 95 percent.

Located at Lake West Medical Center, the Lake Health Atrial Fibrillation and Heart Rhythm Center uses advanced technology, including ablations, to detect and treat heart rhythm disorders under the direction of Robert Goldstein, MD.
