The material on the surface vaporizes and blows away — a process called ablation.

其面的质随之蒸发并被吹走——这一过程被称为烧蚀。

An echo? What about cardioversion or ablation? Won't I need a pacemaker or a permanent internal defibrillator?

超声波检查？干嘛不来个心脏复律或射频消融？我难道不需要装一个起搏器或者永久性的心内除颤仪？

The goal here is ablation, which is a fancy word for removing material from the surface of something.

这里的目标烧蚀，这一个花哨的词，示从面去除材料。

They're usually asymptomatic, but when they're a sign of an underlying disorder, treatment including a radiofrequency ablation may be necessary.

它们通常无症状的，但当成为在疾病的体征时，包括射频消融在内的治疗就可能有要的了。

Patients respond to ablation in widely different ways, in large part, says Dr Roney, because of differences in cardiac tissue.

罗尼博士说，不同患者对消融的反应有很大差异，很大程度上因为心脏组织的差异。

The low rate of ablation also means that this is great for pushing debris and dust out of the way, almost like a broom.

低烧蚀率也意味着这非常适合将碎片和灰尘推开，几乎就像扫帚一样。

If they do develop dangerous tachyarrhythmias, however, they may be treated pharmacologically, but a definitive treatment is radiofrequency catheter ablation of the accessory pathway, or Bundle of Kent.

如果他们发展到了危险的快速性心律失常，应该使用药治疗，长期治疗首选对肯特束（“旁路”）行导管射频消融术。

She is, therefore, working to customise treatment, using digital twins to recreate the particulars of individual hearts and predict how they will react to ablation.

因此， 她致力于定制治疗方案，利用数字孪生来重建个体心脏的细节并预测其对消融的反应。

At present, that treatment often involves ablation: heating or freezing small diseased regions of the heart to form tiny scars that block errant electrical signals.

目前，这种治疗通常涉及消融：加热或冷冻心脏的患病小区域以形成阻断错误电信号的微小疤痕。

If an ectopic focus is triggering atrial fibrillation, radiofrequency ablation can be done, which is where radiofrequency waves are used to destroy the tissue that's causing the ectopic heartbeat.

如果异位起搏点引发了心房颤动，就需要做射频消融了，即利用射频波破坏导致异位心搏的组织。

If an ectopic focus is triggering ventricular arrhythmias, radiofrequency ablation can be done, which is where radiofrequency waves are used to destroy the tissue that's causing the ectopic heartbeat.

如果异位起搏点引发了室性心律失常，可以做射频消融，就射频波被用于摧毁导致异位心搏的组织。

By recreating these patterns in the modelled heart, the digital twin can be used to simulate ablation, as well as the probable patient response, before any surgery occurs.

通过在模型心脏中重建这些模式，数字孪生可用于在任何手术之前模拟消融以及可能的患者反应。
