Dr. Frisch joins Thomas Jefferson University Hospital from Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, where he completed fellowships in both Cardiovascular Diseases and Cardiac Electrophysiology.To date, Dr. Frisch has participated in nearly 80 atrial fibrillation ablation procedures.

About atrial fibrillation ablation"With this procedure, we attempt to locate areas of abnormal electrical activity and then eliminate that activity by cauterizing the tissue," explains Dr. Frisch, who is also Assistant Professor of Medicine at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University."The goal of the procedure is to cure this rhythm disorder, and in most cases we can significantly reduce symptoms."

According to Dr. Frisch, symptoms of atrial fibrillation may include heart palpitations, feeling more tired than usual and, in some cases, shortness of breath and chest discomfort.However, he says some people have no symptoms at all.

If you have a history of atrial fibrillation, or even if you suspect that you may have it, Dr. Frisch encourages you to make an appointment with a Jefferson cardiac electrophysiologist.

"The important thing to understand is that atrial fibrillation doesn't usually exist in isolation," Dr. Frisch explains.

Cardiac electrophysiologist Daniel R. Frisch, MD, joins Jefferson's team to help increase the availability of an ablation treatment for atrial fibrillation - the most common form of heart arrhythmia.
