Get an inside look at the cardiac catherization lab at Barnes-Jewish Hospital where Washington University physicians perform minimally invasive procedures for treating atrial fibrillation (a-fib) and other heart disorders. Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm and the most common electrical heart problem in the United States. Watch as Mitchell Faddis, MD, PhD, discusses minimally invasive treatment options for atrial fibrillation including the use of rotor mapping. This approach allows physicians to identify and ablate the precise area of the abnormal heart rhythm.
