Independence Health System is improving advanced cardiac care using new technology.
Earlier this month, Butler Memorial Hospital began treating atrial fibrillation patients with Abbott’s Volt Pulsed Field Ablation system.
The new equipment treats irregular heart rhythms using high-energy electrical pulses rather than extreme temperatures.
Procedures can now be performed with a lower risk of damage to surrounding tissues as well as faster recovery.
Symptoms of AFib can include a rapid or irregular heartbeat, fatigue, shortness of breath, dizziness, and chest discomfort, but some people may not experience symptoms, so routine check-ups with a healthcare provider are recommended.
