Your doctor will put a video camera or tiny robot into your chest. Itâll guide the creation of scar tissue that may help keep your heartbeat at the right pace. A more invasive maze procedure is done during open heart surgery. People usually have surgical ablation if they are already having valve or bypass surgery for heart disease.
Rhodium is a silver-white hard metal often found in platinum ores. It is the most expensive precious metal. In its natural solid state Rhodium is far too hard to work, but it is used as an alloy in the smelting of platinum and palladium.
Rhodium plated finishes are best in class for wearability among the precious metals. Additionally, rhodium is hypoallergenic. White gold normally employs nickel to provide the whiteness of white gold, however, approximately 20% of women will have some form of allergy to nickel. Thus, by rhodium plating, a possible allergen is removed from contacting your skin. The one exception to that is on white gold stud earrings. Because the nut of the earring drags along the post, the post will not remain plated for long. In those instances where nickel may be a problem, we recommend using platinum posts/nuts on a white gold basket, or simply going with platinum earrings. Rhodium plating can dramatically increase the long term durability, brightness and luster of the finish. Because it is a plating, it will wear off over time. How soon depends on how much wear and tear the jewelry item takes.
