New Technology to Treat Atrial Fibrillation Available in O'Fallon  

1 year 11 months ago
O’FALLON — HSHS St. Elizabeth’s Hospital recently added a new technology to help treat atrial fibrillation (AF). The FARAPULSE™ Pulsed Field Ablation System is a unique alternative to thermal ablation, the traditional treatment for AF. In a typical ablation procedure, a catheter is placed inside the heart and generates extreme temperatures – hot or cold – to destroy the areas causing abnormal heart rhythms.
