EPS (Electrophysiological Study) and RFA (Radiofrequency Ablation) are specialized cardiac procedures used to diagnose and treat abnormal heart rhythms, also known as arrhythmias. During an EPS procedure, small electrodes are placed inside the heart to study the electrical signals. This procedure can identify the source of the arrhythmia. RFA involves using radiofrequency energy to create small scars on the heart tissue, eliminating the abnormal electrical pathways that cause the arrhythmia.
EPS & RFA are commonly used to treat various arrhythmias, including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and some types of ventricular arrhythmias.
The recovery process after EPS and RFA is generally smooth. Patients are usually monitored closely for a few hours after the procedure. Discharge from the hospital occurs on the same day or the next day in most cases. Patients generally experience mild discomfort or soreness at the catheter insertion site. However, this typically resolves within a few days. Normal activities are usually resumed after a week after the surgery. The doctor advises specific restrictions on heavy lifting or strenuous exercise. Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to assess the effectiveness of the procedure and monitor the heart's rhythm.
It's a fact that while ranking a hospital, certain factors need to be considered. Some of the major factors for ranking the hospitals for EPS & RFA in Israel are Infrastructure, Procedure Availability, Popularity of procedure, Technology, Cost-effectiveness, Skilled medical personnel, Patient-care facilities, and Rate of Success
