A powerful tool in the treatment of premature ventricular contractions: radiofrequency ablation therapy

  The hazards of frequent premature ventricular contractions: 1. The frequent symptoms of panic, dizziness and chest tightness caused by frequent premature ventricular contractions can seriously affect the normal life and work of patients and bring negative impact on mental health.  2. Frequent premature ventricular contractions can adversely affect the normal function of the heart, and in severe cases, can lead to heart enlargement and induce heart failure.  The treatment of frequent ventricular premature beats: At present, there are two main methods to treat frequent ventricular premature beats: one is drug therapy; the other is radiofrequency ablation therapy. In most cases, the effect of drug therapy is not ideal, and even if it is effective, it can only relatively reduce the number of premature beats, and it is not curative, requiring long-term or even lifelong medication, which may lead to drug-related toxic side effects and bring psychological pressure to patients.  Radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive interventional procedure that can completely cure frequent premature ventricular contractions. Radiofrequency ablation is used to treat premature ventricular contractions by finding the excitation point of premature ventricular contractions under the guidance of X-ray machine fluoroscopy and three-dimensional heart reconstruction equipment. The area of injury is very small, and its traumatic surface is hemispherical, with a depth of only 5 mm and a diameter of 5-8 mm. The procedure does not affect the heart function, and you can get out of bed the day after the operation, and only need to be hospitalized for 2-3 days for observation.  The advantages of radiofrequency ablation treatment: 1. Radiofrequency ablation is the only method to cure frequent premature ventricular contractions, and the efficacy is exact. At present, “radiofrequency ablation” has become quite mature, and the success rate of treating regular “frequent ventricular premature beats” is high. The success rate of radiofrequency ablation is generally about 95% for conventional outflow tract ventricular premature, and slightly lower for other sites. By and large, for example, deeper lesions or higher risk of ablation may lead to a decrease in the success rate of the procedure or the possibility of recurrence after surgery; 2. The incision of radiofrequency ablation surgery is only the size of a soybean grain, so the postoperative recovery is very fast, and almost no scars are left, and the complication rate of surgery is 1‰.  3.Good recovery after surgery. Patients can recover completely after surgery, just like normal people.
