"Hospitals Introduce Innovative AFib Treatments with Tissue-Sparing Procedures"

Roper St. Francis in Charleston, S.C. is set to introduce an innovative treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib) using Medtronic's pulsed ablation technology, which involves a less invasive catheter delivering electrical pulses to the heart to correct irregular heartbeats. Dr. Micheal Field, one of three doctors at Roper offering the procedure, anticipates shorter procedure times, better safety, and easier recovery for patients with AFib, and encourages those affected to discuss this new treatment option with their doctors.
