Electrophysiology Study Treatment in India

Sophia Iyer, a 42-year-old software engineer and mother of two, had always been active. Over the past year, she began experiencing sudden, terrifying episodes where her heart would race uncontrollably for minutes at a time, accompanied by dizziness and shortness of breath. These 'palpitation attacks' were unpredictable, often striking during work meetings or while helping her kids with homework, leaving her anxious and exhausted. A Holter monitor captured one such episode, confirming it was a supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Her cardiologist, Dr. Chen, recommended an Electrophysiology (EP) Study to pinpoint the exact electrical pathway causing the problem, with the possibility of fixing it during the same procedure via ablation. Sophia was terrified of the idea of catheters in her heart but was desperate for a solution. The procedure itself, under mild sedation, was painless. She felt some peculiar fluttering sensations as the team mapped her heart's circuitry and identified an extra electrical pathway. Dr. Chen then performed a catheter ablation, carefully destroying the problematic tissue. Waking up, Sophia felt immediate relief, though groggy. After an overnight stay for observation, she went home. In the weeks that followed, the debilitating palpitations were completely gone. Emotionally, she transformed from a state of constant, fearful anticipation to one of profound relief and regained confidence. She could finally be fully present for her family and career without the shadow of the next attack.
