Has cardiac ablation been performed in people with cardiac amyloidosis?

The search results don't specifically mention cardiac ablation as a treatment option for cardiac amyloidosis. However, they do discuss various treatments for managing heart rhythm problems that can occur with this condition.

Many people with cardiac amyloidosis develop arrhythmias (abnormal heart rhythms), particularly atrial fibrillation. Treatment options mentioned for managing these rhythm problems include:

* Anti-arrhythmia medications to restore normal heart rhythm
* Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or pacemakers to control heart rhythm
* Blood thinners to lower the risk of blood clots

The treatments primarily focus on managing the underlying amyloidosis and addressing heart damage through medications, devices like pacemakers, and in severe cases, heart transplantation.

If you're considering cardiac ablation or have questions about it, discussing this with your cardiologist would be important. They can evaluate whether it's appropriate given your specific type of amyloidosis and current heart function.
