For those patients whose irregular rhythms cannot be controlled by medication and have no other option except ablation (removal of area causing problem), this is an exciting new therapeutic approach.AF Suppression, as the name implies, is designed to suppress atrial fibrillation (AF). An implanted pacemaker stimulates the heart in a way that preempts any irregular rhythms.Stay posted to Glendale Memorial for results.
