Ascension AFib trial underway

Posted

Cardiologist Dr. Saumil Oza and the heart care team at Ascension St. Vincent's are part of a landmark trial for patients with AFib evaluating the potential to deliver pulsed field ablation treatment that safely avoids collateral damage to structures around the heart.
Instead of burning or freezing tissue, pulse field ablation shocks targeted cardiology tissues with a controlled electric field for a more precise and faster procedure. This non-thermal energy delivery under investigation may lead to safer and more effective patient outcomes.
Potential patients may call 904-308-5761 to schedule an appointment with Ascension St. Vincent’s and begin the process of trial enrollment.
