Non-surgical Procedures for Atrial Fibrillation (AFib or AF) Electrical cardioversion is a procedure in which a patient receives an electrical shock on the outside of the chest (while under mild anesthesia) using either paddles or patches. The shock can be used to âresetâ the heart to a normal rhythm.
Ablation surgery has become one of the most effective methods in treating atrial fibrillation, especially in patients who do not respond to drug treatment. Definition of Ablation Surgery Ablation surgery is a procedure to destroy abnormal tissues. It is often used in patients who have extra tissue in their hearts that creates abnormal electrical impulses. These impulses interfere with the heart's normal electrical stimulating tissue, and this results in atrial fibrillation, or the quivering of the upper chambers of the heart.
