Patient's question:
57-year-old male patient. Paroxysmal tachycardia recurring for over 20 years with relief for half a month. Re-diagnosed with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and occasional atrial flutter tachycardia at our local hospital. During hospitalization, intravenous nitroglycerin, Salvia miltiorrhiza injection, oral Wenxin Granules, metoprolol, aspirin, and other medications were administered. Re-examination of the electrocardiogram showed atrial flutter! I would like to undergo radiofrequency ablation at your hospital!Doctor's answer:
Atrial fibrillation (AF) and atrial flutter are common types of arrhythmias. Whether radiofrequency ablation surgery can be performed depends on the specific type of condition. It is important to actively seek medical attention and follow up with the cardiology department of the hospital. Clear diagnostic tests, including electrocardiogram (ECG) results, should be conducted to identify the underlying causes of AF and atrial flutter, as well as basic blood pressure, blood lipid levels, blood glucose levels, valve inflammation, and cardiac function status. These assessments are necessary to determine the feasibility of surgical treatment. This is the advice for the question "Can paroxysmal atrial fibrillation undergo radiofrequency ablation?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
