My son is 13 yrs old and has cardiomyopathy with obstuction and l would like some information from anyone who has experience with this procedure.

Certain individuals with severely weak pumping function of the heart & severe heart failure may need a biventricular pacemaker. It works on the right & left chambers (ventricles) of the heart & keeps them pumping together. In very specific cases, this special pacemaker may also have a defibrillation function, which means it can quickly detect a life-threatening, rapid heartbeat & convert it back to normal.
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is use of radiofrequency energy to destroy biological tissue for medical treatment.
Consult the Pediatric cardiologist.

my 6 year old son also has cardiomyopathy & has to have a radio frequency resection as he has developed an obstruction from what l have been told it is the same as an ablation where they will go into the main artery in his groin & the use radio frequency to destroy the muscle causing the obstruction but our cardiologist called it a resection as its is on a bigger scale than an ablation the ablation only destroys tiny parts where with the resecion there is more to remove
All the best to u & ur son x
