"Catheter ablation" is a medical procedure where a thin tube called a catheter is used to fix or treat problems related to the heart. The catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in the leg, and guided to the heart. Then, it is used to deliver energy (like heat or cold) to destroy specific spots in the heart that may be causing irregular heartbeats or other issues. This helps restore the normal rhythm of the heart and improve overall heart health.
