Heart Rhythm Mapping and Ablation for Atrial Fibrillation

Pennsylvania rates for HCPCS 93656

A specialist threads thin, flexible catheters through blood vessels into the heart to precisely map the electrical signals causing an irregular heart rhythm called atrial fibrillation. Once the problem areas are identified, targeted energy is used to create small scars that block the abnormal electrical pathways. This combines a full diagnostic study of the heart's electrical system with the treatment itself in one procedure.
