"Radiofrequency energy" refers to a type of energy that is used to transmit information wirelessly through radio waves.
Full definition
The noninvasive CRFA procedure
uses radiofrequency energy to interrupt pain transmission by a specific nerve (genicular nerve) of the knee.
During catheter ablation, which typically takes four to five hours, cardiologists thread a catheter, or long thin tube, up through a blood vessel from the groin to the heart and use it as a conduit to
send radiofrequency energy to cauterize the misfiring cells.
We asked why the revolution in minimally invasive procedures had not addressed this condition — and that led to our inventing our device, which inserts a balloon under the ligament to set it up for bursts
of radiofrequency energy that sever it cleanly without the need for the typical incision.
Instead of using uncontrolled mechanical force, this new insulated transseptal needle has a closed end that safely
delivers radiofrequency energy to create a small hole in the atrial septum, allowing the needle to pass to the left atrium with increased efficacy and control.
The doctor delivers a dose of
radiofrequency energy, similar to microwaves, to destroy the abnormal cells, which restores the heart's regular rhythm.
A drive for high - field MRI is mediated by the benefits of better image resolution However, tissue heating becomes substantial at higher fields due to an increase of
the radiofrequency energy absorption.
During the Symplicity renal denervation procedure, a catheter is threaded through arteries to deliver
radiofrequency energy that inactivates kidney nerves, interrupting electrical signals to and from the kidney, an organ that performs a major role in regulating blood pressure.
During the renal denervation procedure with the Symplicity device used in this trial, a catheter is threaded through arteries to deliver
radiofrequency energy that inactivates kidney nerves, interrupting electrical signals to and from the kidney, an organ that performs a major role in regulating blood pressure.
