What is radiofrequency ablation for premature beats?

Patient's question:

Recently, I don't know why I've been feeling discomfort in my heart. Although I often take medication to control it, the effect is not obvious. When I went to the hospital for a check-up, they also prescribed medication. Could you please explain what radiofrequency ablation for premature beats is?

Doctor's answer:

Radiofrequency ablation surgery is performed because it often occurs due to reasons such as premature ventricular contractions or tachycardia. To completely eliminate the cause of this tachycardia and premature ventricular contractions, the method of radiofrequency ablation is used to burn away the abnormal conduction pathways in the heart, thereby achieving the goal of treating tachycardia or premature ventricular contractions. Generally, this surgery is quite effective in treating premature ventricular contractions or tachycardia.
