Atrial flutter ablation is a procedure that uses hot or cold methods to damage heart cells that send abnormal signals that cause fast heartbeats. The objectives are to evaluate the feasibility of AAFL catheter ablation based on high-density mapping and minimizing entrainment and to better characterize AAFL circuits. Damage to these cells in your atrium (upper heart chamber) stops the irregular signals for most people who have this procedure. For others, symptoms include: Electrical signals that are too frequent cause atrial flutter, making the upper chambers of your heart contract (pump) too often. . Jas P, Shah DC, Hassaguerre M et al.
