A CT scan (computed tomography) is also undertaken to determine the size of your pulmonary veins and to ensure the absence of thrombus (clot) within the atria. Pre-testing includes a history and physical examination, an electrocardiogram, and an echocardiogram.

Prior to the procedure, a series of test and evaluation procedures will be conducted to see if this procedure is appropriate for you. The goals of treatment for atrial fibrillation include regaining a normal heart rhythm (sinus rhythm), controlling the heart rate, reducing symptoms, and reducing the risk of blood clots and stroke.
Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm that originates in the top chambers of the heart (atria). Pulmonary vein isolation ablation is a treatment for atrial fibrillation.
