\n The Cardiology Department provides evaluation and treatment for a wide range of arrhythmias,
\n including atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, bradyarrhythmia,
\n and ventricular arrhythmias.
\n Catheter ablation is offered using multiple energy modalities, including pulse field ablation,
\n introduced at this hospital in April 2025, alongside pacemaker, ICD, and CRT implantation.\n <\/p>\n

What is arrhythmia?<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

\n Arrhythmia refers to an abnormal heart rhythm or rate \u2014
\n whether too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregular.
\n Symptoms range from palpitations and dizziness to syncope and, in some cases,
\n sudden cardiac arrest.\n <\/p>\n

\n Arrhythmias treated at this hospital include atrial fibrillation (AF),
\n atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia (VT),
\n and bradyarrhythmias requiring pacemaker therapy.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n

Catheter ablation<\/h2>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
\n

\n Catheter ablation treats arrhythmia by targeting the abnormal electrical pathway
\n or focus within the heart.
\n The procedure is performed under sedation or general anaesthesia,
\n depending on the case.\n <\/p>\n

\n Three ablation modalities are available and selected according to arrhythmia type and anatomy:\n <\/p>\n
