This patient below has a problem shared by 2 million Americans.
The upper chambers of the heart beat in a rapid, uncoordinated fashion. This
can lead to fatigue, dizziness, palpitaitions, heart failure
and stroke. The patient below is having endoscopic ablation of his arrythmia
using microwave energy. The left atrium is pictured here
(upper left-hand corner) beating in the rapid, uncoordinated fashion typical
of atrial fibrillation (next - heart after microwave
ablation with regular sinus rhythm).
