What is another word for cardiac ablation?
Pronunciation: [kˈɑːdɪˌak ɐblˈe͡ɪti͡ən] (IPA) 
Cardiac ablation is a medical procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms. However, there are other terms used to refer to this process. One synonym for cardiac ablation is radiofrequency ablation. This method involves the use of high-frequency energy to destroy the tissue that causes irregular heartbeats. Another synonym is catheter ablation, which involves inserting a thin tube into the heart through a blood vessel and using it to deliver energy that destroys the affected tissue. Finally, there is cryoablation, which is a similar procedure to radiofrequency ablation, but uses cold energy instead of high-frequency energy. All of these methods have the same goal of treating cardiac arrhythmias, and knowing the different terms can help patients discuss their options with their doctors.
