One of those procedures is ablation, which involves destroying cells in the specific areas of the heart that cause &lt;a href=\&#34;/content/mgb-global/global/en/patient-care/services-and-specialties/heart/conditions/cardiac-arrhythmia.html\&#34;>arrhythmias&lt;/a>. Ablation creates a scar that blocks the electrical signals from creating abnormal heart rhythms.&lt;/p>\r\n&lt;p>Different types of ablation use different methods to create the scars. They include:&lt;/p>\r\n&lt;ul>\r\n&lt;li>&lt;b>Cryoablation,&lt;/b> which freezes the cells.&lt;/li>\r\n&lt;li>&lt;b>Radiofrequency ablation,&lt;/b> which heats and destroys the cells.&lt;/li>\r\n&lt;li>&lt;b>Pulse field ablation,&lt;/b> a newer technique that uses very precise electrical pulses to destroy the cells.&lt;/li>\r\n&lt;/ul>\r\n&lt;p>During a catheter ablation, your electrophysiologist threads a catheter through a blood vessel to reach your heart. The procedure is minimally invasive, and you may not need an overnight hospital stay afterward.&lt;/p>\r\n&lt;p>Some arrhythmias are best corrected with implanted devices. Electrophysiologists perform these procedures, too. The devices include:&lt;/p>\r\n&lt;ul>\r\n&lt;li>&lt;b>Implantable cardioverter &lt;a href=\&#34;https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsroom/articles/what-is-a-defibrillator\&#34; target=\&#34;_self\&#34;>defibrillators&lt;/a> (ICD),&lt;/b> which find and correct abnormal heart rhythms. This device uses small wires that go through your veins into your heart.

One of those procedures is ablation, which involves destroying cells in the specific areas of the heart that cause <a href="/en/patient-care/services-and-specialties/heart/conditions/cardiac-arrhythmia">arrhythmias</a>. Ablation creates a scar that blocks the electrical signals from creating abnormal heart rhythms.</p> <p>Different types of ablation use different methods to create the scars. They include:</p> <ul> <li><b>Cryoablation,</b> which freezes the cells.</li> <li><b>Radiofrequency ablation,</b> which heats and destroys the cells.</li> <li><b>Pulse field ablation,</b> a newer technique that uses very precise electrical pulses to destroy the cells.</li> </ul> <p>During a catheter ablation, your electrophysiologist threads a catheter through a blood vessel to reach your heart. The procedure is minimally invasive, and you may not need an overnight hospital stay afterward.</p> <p>Some arrhythmias are best corrected with implanted devices. Electrophysiologists perform these procedures, too. The devices include:</p> <ul> <li><b>Implantable cardioverter <a href="https://www.massgeneralbrigham.org/en/about/newsroom/articles/what-is-a-defibrillator" target="_self">defibrillators</a> (ICD),</b> which find and correct abnormal heart rhythms.
