Patient was educated on cardiac ablation as follows:

1. Occasionally, small areas in the heart can initiate electrical signal resulting in a beat that is not in synchronization with the regular heartbeat initiated in the natural pacemaker of the heart.
2. This abnormal beat can be totally out of place and result in abnormal rhythms, sometimes leading to an ineffective and abnormally increased heartbeat.
3. Cardiac ablation is a procedure used to destroy such areas in the heart generating abnormal electrical signals.
4. The site for source of the abnormal rhythm is identified first. Cardiac ablation can be performed using either heat (radio frequency ablation) or very cold temperatures (cryoablation).
5. The procedure results in scarring of the tissue causing these abnormal rhythms, thereby, inhibiting the initiation of these rhythms. Inhibition of abnormal rhythm can help promotion of the normal rhythm initiated in the natural pacemaker of the heart without any interference.
