A concomitant procedure, which involves high-energy pulses to treat AFib and block abnormal electrical signals, is being used to prevent patients from having multiple procedures. The procedure is effective and safe, with patients returning home the same day and quickly recovering. Dr. Morhaf Ibrahim, an electrophysiologist at HCA Florida Memorial Hospital in Jacksonville, has treated about 100 people with the dual procedure within the last nine months. Not all patients are suitable for the procedure, so it is essential for people to consult their doctor.
