Radiofrequency (RF) ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat arrhythmias by targeting and eliminating faulty electrical pathways in the heart. While it’s safe and effective, recovery plays a critical role in long-term success. Immediately After the Procedure– You may feel groggy due to sedation– Mild bruising or soreness at the catheter insertion site […]
The mind and heart are more connected than we think — and not just metaphorically. Research shows that poor mental health can significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, while living with heart disease can lead to anxiety and depression. This two-way street makes managing both your emotional and physical well-being essential. How Mental Health […]
Heart disease is a growing concern in India, but for many, the cost of treatment remains a major barrier. The good news is — affordable, quality heart care is possible. Here’s how. Why is Cardiac Treatment Expensive?– Advanced procedures like CIED implants, EP studies, and RF ablations require specialized teams and equipment– Private hospitals often […]
A pacemaker is a small electronic device implanted under the skin to regulate irregular heartbeats. Once you’ve had one implanted, your life can return to normal with a few adjustments. Here’s everything you need to know to live well with a pacemaker. What Does a Pacemaker Do?Pacemakers help correct arrhythmias — slow or irregular heartbeats […]
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly redefining how we diagnose, treat, and manage heart disorders. From real-time ECG analysis to AI-assisted cardiac imaging, the integration of technology is improving outcomes at every level. Where AI Is Making a Difference? 1. ECG & Arrhythmia DetectionMachine learning models are now able to detect atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias […]
Wearable technology is no longer just about counting steps. In 2025, it’s about tracking your heartbeat, detecting irregular rhythms, and helping save lives — all from your wrist. What Are Wearable Heart Monitors?These are smart devices like smartwatches and fitness bands that track:– Heart rate (BPM)– Heart rate variability– ECG patterns– Oxygen saturation They use […]
The field of cardiology continues to evolve rapidly, and 2025 has been a game-changing year for heart rhythm management. With rising cases of arrhythmia globally, especially in younger demographics, innovations in diagnostics and treatment are transforming outcomes. 1. AI-Driven ECG InterpretationArtificial Intelligence is now being used in real-time ECG analysis to identify patterns of arrhythmia […]
An Electrophysiology (EP) Study and Radiofrequency (RF) Ablation are two common procedures used to diagnose and treat heart rhythm disorders. If your doctor has recommended them, understanding what to expect can ease anxiety and help you prepare. What Is an EP Study?An EP study is a minimally invasive test where thin wires (catheters) are inserted […]
Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) are revolutionizing how we treat arrhythmias and prevent sudden cardiac death. These devices include pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices — each playing a unique role in improving heart function and saving lives. What Are CIEDs?CIEDs are small electronic devices placed inside the body, typically […]
Turning 40 is a significant milestone — not just in your personal and professional journey, but also in how you care for your body, especially your heart. After 40, the risk of cardiovascular disease increases dramatically due to age-related changes, lifestyle stressors, and cumulative exposure to risk factors over the past 3 decades. Why Age […]
