Cardiac Ablation

Electrophysiology

Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses energy to create electrical barriers in the heart which can eliminate the abnormal rhythm or block the electrical signals that can trigger the abnormal rhythm. Traditionally, this is achieved by burning or freezing the heart tissue.

Cardiac electrophysiologists at CMC’s New England Heart & Vascular Institute are participating in research on pulsed field ablation (PFA). This new approach does not involve burning or freezing and can take far less time than current methods. Studies are ongoing to evaluate the safety and efficacy of this new approach.

Cardiac Ablation

Cardiac ablation is a technique used to correct an abnormal heart rhythm. Dr. Kim, Medical Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology at CMC's New England Heart & Vascular Institute explains how this procedure works.

A-Fib

Doesn’t Have to Slow You Down

Gerald Spindel, ophthalmologist, describes the procedure he had to treat his persistent atrial fibrillation as ‘life changing’. Dr. Spindel & Dr. Jamie Kim, Medical Director, Cardiac Electrophysiology at CMC's New England Heart & Vascular Institute describe what led him to have this procedure and his experience at CMC.

CMC care allows A-Fib patient to see the world

Keeping up, at last

The medications Dorothy Anderson were using to manage her A-Fib were no longer working. But a minimally invasive ablation procedure, performed by Jamie Kim, MD, FACC, Director of Cardiac Electrophysiology at our New England Heart & Vascular Institute, allowed her to travel the world again without worry.
