A radiofrequency ablation isn't necessary for everyone who has a cardiac arrhythmia. It's normally advised for patients who have arrhythmias that aren't managed by medicine or who have particular types of arrhythmias in the upper chambers of the heart, known as the atria.
The following patients are candidates for radiofrequency catheter ablation:
You'll be given drugs via IV to help you feel drowsy and calm. You may be given general anesthesia to sleep through the surgery, depending on the type of heart rhythm problem you have. Your doctor will numb an area in your groin and make a small hole in your skin. Then, the doctor will place three or four catheters through blood vessels to your heart to help guide the procedure.
The doctor uses special X-rays to see the catheter as it moves through your body. The catheters have microscopic sensors that monitor the flow of electrical signals via your heart. A catheter may be used by the doctor to induce a transient abnormal heartbeat. Measurements gathered during this time help your doctor figure out what's causing the irregular heartbeat, where it's coming from, and how to effectively treat it.
During the procedure, a thin, flexible catheter (tube) is carefully threaded through blood vessels to reach the heart, typically using veins in the groin or neck as access points. The catheter tip releases RF energy, a form of controlled electrical energy that generates heat. Once these cells are ablated, the heart's normal electrical conduction system can take over, restoring a healthy rhythm.
Catheter ablation recovery is usually quick and painless. Mild symptoms such as an aching chest and soreness, as well as bruises in the location where the catheter was put, may occur in the days after the treatment. Within a few days, most people may resume their routine activities.
The EPS & RFA treatment has a remarkable outcome and produces highly gratifying outcomes. The majority of people who get the surgery return to their normal activities thereafter. The treatment can have a success rate of more than 90% depending on the type of arrhythmia being treated.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has a success rate that typically ranges between 70% and 80% overall. However, for individuals with favorable factors—such as younger age, intermittent (paroxysmal) atrial fibrillation (AFib), and no significant underlying heart disease—the success rate can reach as high as 95%. The specific success rate varies depending on individual factors like the type and duration of arrhythmia, as well as the presence of any co-existing cardiac conditions.
Radiofrequency ablation is generally considered a safe and effective treatment for atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias. It helps many patients restore a normal heart rhythm. While it is a minimally invasive procedure, like all medical procedures, it carries some risk. Potential complications may include bleeding, infection, and pain at the catheter insertion site, but these risks are relatively rare. Overall, for most patients, the benefits of RFA far outweigh the risks, making it a well-regarded treatment for arrhythmias.
After ablation, the heart tissue can experience temporary inflammation or irritation, leading some patients to notice occasional irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias in the weeks following the procedure. These episodes are often short-lived and tend to resolve as the heart heals. Therefore, the initial weeks post-ablation isn't typically used to judge the procedure's success, as such effects are expected. In the longer term, ablation does not weaken the heart but rather improves function in most cases by restoring a regular rhythm.
Research indicates that ablation can positively impact life expectancy for many patients. A study published in 'Cardiac Rhythm' found that patients who successfully restored their heart's natural rhythm through catheter ablation experienced a 60% reduction in cardiovascular mortality. This suggests that successful ablation not only improves heart rhythm but may also contribute to longer, healthier lives, especially in individuals with AFib and similar arrhythmias.
In addition to the procedure cost for EPS & RFA Treatment in India, there are several other costs that you should plan for when organizing your medical trip to India. These include:
Budgeting for Meals:
The cost of EPS & RFA treatment covers meals during your hospital stay. However, you would need to budget for costs incurred for meals before and after the hospital stay.
Budgeting for flight costs:
The cost quoted for EPS & RFA treatment does not cover airfare from your location to the city in India where you will be having surgery. This cost will vary depending on your departure location and the time of booking.
Budgeting for local travel in India:
While in India for EPS & RFA treatment, you will spend on taxi fares, ride-sharing services, or rental cars for traveling between the hospital and the hotel.
Budgeting for stay:
During your medical travel, lodging will be required before you get admitted to the hospital and after you get discharged from the hospital. This cost will depend on proximity of accomodation to the medical facility and the level of luxury you choose for yourself.
Taking into account these additional expenses along with the EPS & RFA Treatment Cost in India, you can create a comprehensive budget to ensure a smooth, hassle-free, and comfortable recovery experience.
