Cardiac Ablation Treatment in India

Sarah Verma, a 42-year-old high school principal and mother of two, had always been active and healthy. For over a year, she experienced sudden, terrifying episodes where her heart would race uncontrollably, making her dizzy and short of breath. These palpitations, diagnosed as paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT), were unpredictable and began disrupting her demanding job and family life. Her cardiologist, Dr. Evans, explained that an extra electrical pathway in her heart was causing the short circuits. After medication failed to control the episodes, he recommended a cardiac ablation to permanently correct the problem. During the minimally invasive procedure, Sarah was sedated but awake, feeling only pressure as catheters were threaded through her groin to her heart. The recovery involved a night in the hospital with strict bed rest to prevent bleeding at the catheter site. Within a week, she was back to light duties, and after six weeks, she resumed all activities. The emotional relief was profound; the constant anxiety of the next 'episode' was replaced by a newfound confidence. She felt she had regained control of her life and could be fully present for her students and family again.
