What is Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA)?

Radiofrequency Ablation is a catheter-based procedure in which radiofrequency energy is delivered to a small area of heart tissue that is causing the abnormal electrical signals. This energy carefully destroys (ablates) the problematic tissue, thereby interrupting the abnormal circuit and restoring normal heart rhythm.

RFA is usually performed along with an Electrophysiology (EP) Study in the same sitting. The EP Study helps identify the exact location of the abnormal pathway, after which RFA is used to eliminate it.

Radiofrequency Ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy small areas of heart tissue responsible for abnormal electrical signals, thereby curing or controlling the arrhythmia.

For many common arrhythmias such as SVT, Atrial Flutter, and WPW syndrome, RFA offers a permanent cure in the majority of patients (success rates often between 90–98%). In some cases, a second procedure may be required.

Yes. When performed by an experienced Electrophysiologist, RFA is considered a safe procedure. Serious complications are rare. Your doctor will explain the benefits and risks based on your individual condition.

Most patients can resume light activities within a few days and return to normal routine within a week. Strenuous exercise may be restricted for a short period as advised by the doctor.
