Hello,
Rhythm control may be achieved in Atrial arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation with heart failure by Catheter ablation and pulmonary vein isolation.
It seems he has developed Parkinsonism (tremors, shakiness-disappears on movement/less severe during voluntary activity) which is unrelated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
