Ablation catheter arrangement and method for treatment of a cardiac arrhythmia

An ablation catheter arrangement includes an ablation generator, a rinsing liquid source for providing a liquid for rinsing the treatment area in which ablation is performed, and an ablation catheter connectable to the ablation generator and to the rinsing liquid source. The ablation catheter has an ablation area, at least one rinsing opening, and a rinsing bath for supplying rinsing liquid to the treatment area. A blood pressure measurement device detects the intracardiac blood pressure over the liquid column of the rinsing liquid, and communicates with the rinsing channel of the ablation catheter by fluid connection.
