Tirunelveli Kauvery Hospital Achieves Milestone in Cardiac Care Tirunelveli, 2024:
Kauvery Hospitals, a leading multi-specialty healthcare hospital chain in India, has successfully administered Cardiac EPS-RFA procedures to 8 patients in a single day at its Tirunelveli facility.
EPS RFA (Electrophysiology Study Radio Frequency Ablation) is a minimally invasive procedure that treats abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias. This procedure is typically recommended for patients with palpitations due to atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
The 8 patients, admitted with complaints of palpitations, underwent EPS-RFA procedures using the latest 3D electro-anatomical mapping system. All patients had complex heart-rhythm problems, including atrial tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, and Accessory pathways. Following the procedure, all patients were discharged the next day in stable condition.
Tirunelveli Kauvery Hospital regularly performs these complex heart-rhythm ablation procedures under a 3D mapping system, once a month. Dr. Deep Chandh Raja, Consultant Cardiologist and Clinical Lead – Cardiac Electrophysiology from Chennai Kauvery Hospital, leads these procedures at Tirunelveli.
