Electrophysiology Study (EPS) & Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA): Restoring Your Heart’s Rhythm
Irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias) can disrupt your life, but advanced treatments like Electrophysiology Study (EPS) and Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) offer effective solutions. At [Clinic/Hospital Name], Dr. Deep Chandh Raja, a leading cardiac electrophysiologist in Chennai, provides these cutting-edge procedures to diagnose and treat arrhythmias, helping you regain control of your heart health.
What is an Electrophysiology Study (EPS)?
EPS is a minimally invasive procedure to evaluate the heart’s electrical system and identify the source of abnormal rhythms. During EPS:
Thin catheters are inserted into a blood vessel and guided to the heart.
The catheters record electrical activity, pinpointing areas causing irregular rhythms.
Conditions Diagnosed with EPS:
- Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
- Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
- Atrial Flutter
- Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
- Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome
What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?
RFA is a state-of-the-art treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to correct abnormal electrical pathways in the heart. During RFA:
A catheter delivers controlled heat to the targeted heart tissue.
The abnormal tissue is destroyed, creating a small scar that blocks irregular signals.
Conditions Treated with RFA:
- Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), including AVNRT and AVRT
- Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) Syndrome
- Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) and Atrial Flutter
- Premature Ventricular Complexes (PVCs)
- Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
Benefits of RFA
High Success Rates: Proven long-term outcomes for arrhythmia treatment.
Minimally Invasive: Small incision, faster recovery, and less discomfort.
Reduced Medication Use: Eliminates the need for long-term antiarrhythmic drugs, which can have side effects.
Improved Quality of Life: Restores normal heart rhythm, enabling an active, healthy lifestyle.
Who is a Candidate for RFA?
RFA is recommended based on:
The severity and frequency of symptoms.
The type and location of the arrhythmia.
Your overall health and medical history.
Dr. Deep Chandh Raja will evaluate your condition and create a personalized treatment plan to meet your needs.
