The Cardiac Electrophysiology Department at Al Qassimi Hospital in Sharjah, which is part of the Emirates Health Services, has proudly carried out its first successful treatment for atrial fibrillation using the innovative “Volt™ Pulsed-Field Ablation (PFA)" technique.

This cutting-edge technology is a significant advancement in the global efforts to treat atrial fibrillation and was used on an Emirati patient in his sixties.

The patient was admitted to the department after experiencing frequent episodes of atrial fibrillation, a condition marked by a rapid and irregular heartbeat, often accompanied by fatigue, shortness of breath, and chest discomfort.

Recently the frequency and severity of these episodes had increased, adversely affecting his daily activities and quality of life, despite following his prescribed medication routine diligently.
