Cardiac ablation, also known as catheter ablation, is a procedure that helps fix irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). In this procedure, a thin tube (called a catheter) is passed through a blood vessel into the heart. The doctor then uses mild heat or cold energy to destroy tiny areas of heart tissue that cause abnormal electrical signals.
It helps the heart beat normally, reduces symptoms like palpitations and tiredness, and lowers the risk of severe heart problems.
What is Cardiac Ablation?
Cardiac ablation is a safe, minimally invasive heart procedure that treats irregular heart rhythms (like atrial fibrillation or supraventricular tachycardia).
During the procedure, a doctor uses radiofrequency (heat) or cryoablation (cold) energy to stop the small area of the heart that causes abnormal electrical activity. This helps your heart beat at a regular, healthy rhythm again.
It is usually done when medicines or other treatments haven't worked well enough.
In India, the cardiac ablation cost usually ranges between Rs. 1,80,000 and Rs. 4,00,000, depending on the hospital, doctor and the type of ablation performed.
Basic Cost Components
A typical cardiac ablation cost includes:
Doctor's consultation and evaluation
Diagnostic tests (like ECG, echocardiogram, or EP study)
Catheter ablation procedure charges
Anesthesia and operation room costs
1-2 days hospital stay
Medicines and aftercare
Follow-up appointments and rhythm monitoring

Your health is everything - prioritize your well-being today.
There is no strict age limit. Many patients above 70 years safely undergo ablation if their overall health and heart function are suitable. Your cardiologist will decide after evaluation.
Most patients rest for about 24 hours after the procedure. Light walking is encouraged soon after, and you can usually resume normal activities in a few days.
Both are safe but serve different purposes. Ablation corrects abnormal electrical signals, while a pacemaker helps slow or irregular heartbeats. Your doctor recommends the best option.
Risks are rare but can include mild bleeding, bruising, infection, or temporary heart rhythm changes. Serious complications are uncommon when done by skilled cardiologists.
Most patients need only one ablation. However, if irregular heartbeats return, a repeat procedure can be safely performed.
