What should I pay attention to after cardiac radiofrequency ablation?
Precautions: After radiofrequency ablation, the patient must stay in bed according to the doctor's advice. The sandbag at the venipuncture site is compressed for 6 hours, and the sandbag at the arterial puncture site is compressed for 8- 12 hours. The affected limb is braked (restricted) to observe whether there is bleeding.

Give a digestible diet during bed rest;

Observe the heart rate and rhythm closely in the early stage after radiofrequency ablation, report to the doctor in time if you feel unwell, and check ECG, echocardiography and chest X-ray when necessary;

If the feeling of tachycardia recurs after operation, but it doesn't really happen, don't be nervous and don't need special treatment;

1 week can resume normal activities;

If there is any recurrence after discharge, you should record the electrocardiogram nearby in time and get in touch with the surgeon to decide the next treatment plan.

Anticoagulant therapy is needed after radiofrequency ablation. Generally, anticoagulant is needed for 1-3 months, depending on the patient's heart rhythm, age and general condition. The application of other auxiliary drugs is mainly to use amiodarone after atrial fibrillation ablation, and take it according to the doctor's advice to achieve the ideal effect.

Precautions before operation

1. electrophysiological examination and radiofrequency ablation generally require hospitalization and routine laboratory examination (including electrocardiogram and blood examination, etc.). ).

Second, dietary precautions: do not eat within 6-8 hours before surgery.

Third, tell the doctor the name and dosage of the drugs used, and stop using all antiarrhythmic drugs 3-5 days before electrophysiological examination and radiofrequency ablation. Antiarrhythmic drugs may affect the test results.

Fourth, tell the doctor about the drug allergy.
