Hi Makaoibim

Ablation is a procedure you have carried out to your heart via the groin to burn/or freeze the areas where rogue pulses are disturbing your normal sinus rate.

For more information:

Go to...'AF Association - Patient Information' sticky on the right of the screen,

then select the website

heartrhythmalliance.org/afa...

then click on 'For Patients'

heartrhythmalliance.org/afa...

then 'Patient Resources'

heartrhythmalliance.org/afa...

then 'Factsheets'
