en.Wedoany.com Reported - Kauvery Hospital has launched the first pulsed field ablation (PFA) program in Tamil Nadu, utilizing two advanced technologies—the Medtronic PulseSelect™ system at its Alwarpet facility and the Biosense Webster Varipulse™ system at Vadapalani, which integrates an advanced three-dimensional cardiac mapping system. This initiative marks the first introduction of PulseSelect™, Varipulse™, and a PFA platform with integrated 3D mapping in the state, enhancing the hospital's capabilities in cardiac electrophysiology and heart rhythm care.
To support the program launch, leading electrophysiology experts from the United States visited Chennai and collaborated with the hospital team during the initial procedures. PFA is a next-generation therapy for treating heart rhythm disorders, particularly atrial fibrillation (AF). Unlike traditional ablation methods that use heat or extreme cold, PFA employs controlled electrical pulses to selectively eliminate abnormal heart tissue through a process called electroporation. This technique targets affected cells while minimizing damage to surrounding structures, including the esophagus, phrenic nerve, and blood vessels, making it a safer and more efficient non-thermal treatment option.
The launch event featured cardiologist Dr. N.S. Sivakadaksham as the chief guest. He welcomed the introduction of this technology and emphasized its potential to improve treatment outcomes for patients with heart rhythm disorders. During the event, he also unveiled Kauvery Hospital's new "Heart Rhythm Package," an affordable screening and assessment program designed for early diagnosis and treatment of patients experiencing symptoms such as palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness, unexplained fatigue, and rapid heartbeat. Hospital officials stated that the package aims to encourage early detection and timely treatment, helping to improve patients' long-term outcomes and quality of life.
