【Explanation】 Recently, Guangxi Baise City People's Hospital completed the first three-dimensional high-efficiency radiofrequency ablation under the guidance of AI in paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. progress. To date, there are only more than 350 certified AI artists worldwide.
[Explanation] AI (Ablation Idex), or "ablation index", is an effective tool for predicting the depth of surgical ablation. It can help doctors to personalize and quantify ablation for different patient situations, avoid excessive surgical damage, and improve the success rate of surgery.
[Explanation] Guangxi Baise City People's Hospital cardiology physician Nong Shuxiong introduced, atrial fibrillation is the most common clinical tachyarrhythmia. The clinical symptoms of atrial fibrillation are palpitations, dizziness, chest discomfort, and shortness of breath. Atrial fibrillation is an independent risk factor for stroke. About 45% of ischemic stroke cases are attributed to atrial fibrillation. After radiofrequency ablation combined with AI, the operation time will be greatly shortened.

Before I had no AI, I had an atrial fibrillation (surgery), and it took three to four hours for an episode. In the case of persistent atrial fibrillation, (operation time) can also reach five or six hours. There are even up to ten hours. Because there was no AI in the past, it depends on our fixed ablation time, but now with AI technology, the original three hours may be shortened to one hour, and this pulmonary vein can be isolated.
[Explanation] Ms. Chen, the patient undergoing surgery, said that she was still relaxed on the operating table and the operation time was very short.

I was a little bit painful when they played. The rest was quite easy. I also looked at them sideways (operation).
[Explanation] Nong Shuxiong introduced that, after combining AI, in addition to greatly shortening the operation time, the accuracy of the operation is also greatly improved.

Through this system, we can build a model of this heart. The red dot is the point where we ablated, and we can see it ablating the distance between the two points. Ensure its continuity. Through Visitag software and AI, we can measure the depth of its ablation, because the AI system can be accurate to about 1 mm.
[Explanation] It is reported that the introduction of AI new technology has greatly promoted the development of medical technologies related to arrhythmia treatment in Guangxi.
