Research

Mayo Clinic doctors and surgeons who are experts in heart rhythm disease are working to better care for people living with irregular heartbeats.

Areas of study have included:

  • How heart medicines work compared with cardiac ablation.
  • The design of new and better tools to do cardiac ablation.
  • The use of high-energy pulses to do ablation.
