Cardiac Ablation Treatment in Japan: Top Hospitals, Cost & Doctors

Heart rhythm problems like AFib, SVT or atrial flutter can affect heartbeat control and daily activities in some people. Modern cardiac ablation procedures now allow doctors to treat abnormal heart signals more accurately without open heart surgery. Cardiac ablation is a treatment used to block the abnormal electrical pathways causing these rhythm problems inside the heart. During the procedure the doctor places thin catheters through blood vessels and guides them into the heart area. The doctor then uses heat or cold energy to treat the small tissue areas causing abnormal heart signals. Many people choose cardiac ablation because it may help reduce palpitations, tiredness, dizziness and repeated irregular heartbeat episodes. Some patients may also need fewer heart rhythm medicines after successful treatment. Adults with AFib, SVT or other repeated heart rhythm problems that continue even after medicines are generally good candidates for cardiac ablation treatment. The heart ablation cost in the US may range around $20,000–$80,000 depending on the hospital and procedure complexity.
