Cardiac ablation is a procedure used to scar small areas on the heart that involves in heart rhythm problems. During this procedure, electrodes are placed inside the heart to measure the electrical activity. When the source causing the problem is found, then the tissue causing the problem is destroyed. They are used by two methods - radiofrequency ablation that uses heat energy, and cryoablation that uses cold temperatures to resolve the issue.
