Pace and Ablate for Afib

Afib is a disorder of both heart rhythm but also heart rate. When the rate is fast then the patient is generally more symptomatic. In addition an excessively fast heart rate, if lieft unchecked, can cause the heart to weaken over a period of time. Medications to control the heart rate can often cause unacceptable side effects. In this video, I discuss an interesting technique called 'Pace and Ablate' which can control the AF without the need for medications.
