Catheter Ablation explained in simple terms

Here is a great website that explains the catheter ablation in a very simple way. Good for first timers, it is animated so it is a good example. I have had two of these ablations. The first one was successfully done however the AF returned resulting in a second Ablation exactly 12 months later. The EP was hoping to find problems with the first op however there were no problems with it, so had to investigate further.

This is an interesting website. It is biased towards ablation as a treatment, but perhaps that's the future for all AF sufferers?
