Abstract

A myocardial infarction (MI) occurs when blood flow in the coronary blood vessel decreases or stops causing damage to the heart muscle. Cardiac radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a procedure using catheters inserted through a vein or artery which reach heart and deliver RF energy in the form of heat
to modify the heart tissue that triggers or sustains tachycardia or tachyarrhythmia.
