Ablation damage

[Nomis21]

Hi,Would anyone know, if there is a possibility of permanent heart muscle damage during a cardiac ablation for someone who has suffered from Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome with Af that could cause something more serious in the future and what tests would be needed to identify this problem if damage had occured ?

Thanks

Hi there, during an ablation procedure, a part of the heart muscle is scarred (ablated) either via a heat or freezing process, this is to ensure a barrier is created to prevent \ eliminate 'episodes' This procedure does not cause any long term damage to the heart. I hope this helps a little?
