How To Treat Sick Sinus Syndrome

Radiofrequency Ablation

Radiofrequency ablation is another procedure used to put a patient's heart back into normal rhythm. It ensures electrical signals do not originate from a location other than the sinus node. In radiofrequency ablation, thin wires or catheters are threaded into the heart’s chambers through a vein in an arm or leg.

One of the catheters is used to find the problematic areas in the heart while the other catheter is used to send heat energy. The heat energy (similar to microwave heat) is used to destroy the abnormal cells in the heart that cause rapid and irregular heartbeats. The procedure is minimally invasive and effective in treating the affected area without affecting the rest of the heart.
