Volt Pulsed Field Ablation has marked a major medical milestone in Sharjah.
Al Qassimi Hospital has successfully performed its first treatment for heart rhythm disorders using this advanced technology. The procedure was carried out on an Emirati man in his sixties who suffered from atrial fibrillation. His condition caused rapid and irregular heartbeats. It also led to fatigue, breathlessness, and chest discomfort.
Despite regular medication, his symptoms became more frequent. They began to affect his daily life. After detailed heart tests and evaluations, doctors decided that a modern intervention was needed. The team chose Volt Pulsed Field Ablation as the best option. The treatment was completed successfully.
This innovative method is known as Volt™ Pulsed-Field Ablation, or PFA. It targets abnormal heart tissue with precise electrical pulses. This helps correct irregular heart rhythms. It also reduces risks linked to traditional ablation methods. The technique is considered a global advancement in treating atrial fibrillation.
Dr Arif Al Nouriani, Director of Al Qassimi Hospital, said the achievement shows a strong commitment to advanced healthcare. He noted that adopting modern medical technologies improves patient outcomes. It also raises the overall quality of life for people with heart rhythm disorders.
He added that the success reflects the skill of specialized medical teams. These teams are trained to meet the highest international standards. Their work strengthens patient trust in national healthcare services. It also supports the UAE’s position as a regional healthcare leader.
This achievement follows the recent approval of the system by the US Food and Drug Administration. It further highlights Sharjah’s growing role in advanced cardiac care. The use of Volt Pulsed Field Ablation opens new hope for patients seeking safer and more effective heart treatments.
