Modeling Left Atrial Flow, Energy, Blood Heating Distribution in Response to Catheter Ablation Therapy

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a widespread cardiac arrhythmia that commonly affects the left atrium (LA), causing it to quiver instead of contracting effectively. This behavior is triggered by abnormal electrical impulses at a specific site in the atrial wall. Catheter ablation (CA) trea...
