Polish Hospital Introduces Revolutionary Heart Treatment: Electroporation Offers Safer Alternative to Cryotherapy

Opole Hospital Pioneers New Atrial Fibrillation Treatment: Electroporation Offers Safer Alternative A revolutionary treatment for atrial fibrillation (AFib), a heart rhythm disorder affecting over a million people in Poland, is being implemented at the University Hospital in Opole. This new technique, called electroporation, offers a safer alternative to the traditional cryotherapy method. "Electroporation allows us to precisely target and neutralize the irregular heart muscle tissue that causes AFib," explains Dr. Gregor Hardyński, Head of the Electrophysiology Department at the University Hospital. "Unlike cryotherapy, which can damage surrounding tissues, electroporation is highly targeted and minimizes the risk of complications." The report from Teleexpress TVP shows the electroporation procedure in action, highlighting its precision and the potential for improved patient outcomes. Many patients suffering from AFib describe their experience as their heart "racing" or "fluttering." This new method offers a less invasive and safer solution. The University Hospital in Opole is leading the way in adopting this innovative technology, providing hope for those suffering from AFib and demonstrating Poland's commitment to advancing healthcare technology.
