Procedural treatments

Service Description

Dr Rahul Mukherjee offers a comprehensive range of specialist cardiac procedures, combining expert clinical judgement with the latest technology to deliver safe, effective, and personalised care. Catheter Ablation: Catheter ablation is a highly advanced, minimally invasive procedure used to treat a wide spectrum of heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation (AF), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), atrial flutter, ventricular ectopics, and ventricular tachycardia (VT). By precisely targeting the abnormal electrical pathways, catheter ablation can significantly reduce symptoms, restore normal rhythm, and improve long-term heart health. Permanent Pacemaker Implantation: Pacemaker implantation offers a reliable solution for slow or irregular heart rhythms. The device is gently positioned beneath the skin and works continuously to maintain a stable heartbeat, improving symptoms such as dizziness, blackouts, or fatigue. Modern pacemakers provide excellent longevity and allow a swift return to normal life. Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation: An ICD provides sophisticated, lifesaving treatment for patients at risk of dangerous arrhythmias. The device detects and corrects fast or unstable heart rhythms automatically, offering robust, ongoing protection and peace of mind. Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR): An implantable loop recorder is a discreet device placed under the skin to capture intermittent or unexplained symptoms such as palpitations or blackouts. It monitors the heart rhythm for extended periods, providing accurate diagnostic information when other tests have been inconclusive. DC Cardioversion: DC cardioversion is a brief, carefully controlled procedure used to reset the heart’s rhythm using an electric shock, particularly in cases of atrial fibrillation or flutter. Performed under short-acting sedation, it offers rapid relief from symptoms and helps restore normal heart function.
