Surgical Treatment for Persistent Heart Rhythm Disorders

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common heart rhythm disorders and increases the risk of stroke and heart failure.

For selected patients, particularly those already undergoing heart surgery, surgical treatment such as the Maze procedure may be performed to restore normal electrical pathways within the heart.

Surgical treatment aims to:

• Restore normal heart rhythm
• Reduce stroke risk
• Improve heart function
• Enhance long-term quality of life
