EPS-RFA Treatment
Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. If your heart has an irregular electrical system, it can cause your heart to beat too fast, too slow, or in an erratic manner. RFA can help correct these issues by using heat to target and destroy small areas of heart tissue that are causing the problem.
Before the procedure, your doctor may perform an electrophysiology study (EPS), which is a test to map the electrical activity of your heart. This helps identify the specific areas responsible for the abnormal rhythms. Once these areas are pinpointed, RFA is used to correct the problem.
During the RFA procedure, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel, usually in your groin, and guided up to your heart. The tip of the catheter emits radiofrequency energy, which generates heat. This heat is applied to the targeted area of heart tissue, creating small scars that disrupt the faulty electrical signals causing your arrhythmia.
The procedure is typically done under local anesthesia, meaning you’ll be awake but relaxed, and it usually takes a few hours. Because it’s minimally invasive, RFA is often performed in an outpatient setting, meaning you can go home the same day.
RFA is a highly effective treatment for many types of arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, and certain types of supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). It can significantly improve your quality of life by restoring a normal heart rhythm, reducing or eliminating symptoms like palpitations, shortness of breath, and dizziness, and decreasing the need for long-term medication.

The Electrophysiology Study and Radiofrequency Ablation (EPS RFA) Treatment starts at USD 5,500. This specialized procedure is designed to diagnose and treat irregular heart rhythms by targeting and correcting problematic areas in the heart tissue, offering a precise solution for arrhythmia management. Contact us for more information.
Patients undergoing EPS RFA treatment typically require a hospital stay of 7-10 days. This period allows for thorough post-procedure monitoring and recovery, ensuring the best possible outcomes and a secure path to a healthier heart rhythm.
The Government of India encourages medical visas and the process is easy and quick without much documentation after a confirmation from the treating hospital.
