Ablation, also known as catheter ablation, is a treatment that aims to control or correct certain types of abnormal heart rhythms. It uses either heat (radiofrequency ablation) or freezing (cryoablation) on the area of your heart thatâs causing the abnormal heart rhythm (or arrhythmia). This treatment creates scar tissue which: breaks abnormal circuits in the heart; destroys areas of the heart muscle which are triggering arrhythmias.

The mineral rhodochrosite [manganese (II) carbonate, MnCO2] is a commercially important source of manganese. Write a half reaction for the oxidation of the manganese in MnCO3 to MnO2 in neutral groundwater where the principal carbonate species is HCO3-. Add H2O, H+, and electrons as needed to balance the half reaction.he mineral rhodochrosite [manganese (II) carbonate, MnCO2] is a commercially important source of manganese.
