Appointment Form

Radiofrequency Ablation (RF Ablation) is a safe and effective procedure for treating heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias). This minimally invasive treatment destroys specific heart tissue that causes irregular heartbeats, helping patients restore a normal rhythm quickly and safely.

How RF Ablation Work

RF Ablation delivers controlled radiofrequency energy through a catheter to the affected heart tissue. The energy creates a small scar that blocks abnormal electrical signals and restores a normal heartbeat.

Catheter Insertion

Doctors insert a narrow, flexible catheter into a blood vessel, usually in the groin, and guide it to the heart using X-ray imaging.

Electrode Placement

The catheter positions electrodes at the site of arrhythmia. These electrodes deliver energy to remove the tissue causing irregular signals.

Ablation Process

Scar tissue blocks abnormal electrical signals, stopping arrhythmias and restoring a healthy heart rhythm.

Who Needs RF Ablation?

RF Ablation is recommended for patients whose arrhythmias do not respond to medication.

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): Rapid, irregular upper heartbeats.
Atrial Flutter: Fast heartbeat in the heart’s upper chambers.
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT): Rapid heartbeat above the ventricles.
Ventricular Tachycardia: Dangerous arrhythmia in the lower chambers.

Symptoms Indicating Treatment

Palpitations
Dizziness or fainting
Shortness of breath
Fatigue
Loss of consciousness

RF Ablation Procedure: Step by Step

Preparation: Doctors use local anaesthesia with mild sedation. General anaesthesia is rarely required
Mapping and Ablation: Abnormal electrical pathways are mapped. Radiofrequency energy creates scar tissue that stops arrhythmias.
Post-Procedure Care: Patients are monitored for several hours or overnight. Most can resume normal activities within a few days.

Benefits of Radiofrequency Ablation

Long-Term Relief: Reduces or eliminates the need for ongoing medications.
Minimally Invasive: Small incisions with quick recovery.
High Success Rate: Most patients experience significant improvement in rhythm and quality of life.
Fast Recovery:Patients usually return to normal activities within a few days.
