Reviewing a proposed procedure with your chosen doctor

Heart Rhythm Ablation (Cardiac Catheter Ablation)
second opinion in Mumbai.

Medical term: Catheter ablation for arrhythmia

Already chosen your cardiac electrophysiologist in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed heart rhythm ablation (cardiac catheter ablation)? When you cannot attend yourself, Redwood organises your existing records and questions, takes the case to that doctor and shares their recommendations.

You choose the doctor. We take your case to them.

Understand the procedure

What is heart rhythm ablation (cardiac catheter ablation)?

Catheter ablation treats selected abnormal heart rhythms by targeting small areas of heart tissue involved in the faulty electrical signals. It is different from opening a blocked artery with a stent.

This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Procedure information: NHS: patient information

Understand the proposed plan

What the operation may involve

Mapping the rhythm

An electrophysiology study may identify where the abnormal rhythm starts or travels. The treatment target depends on the diagnosed arrhythmia.

Ablation method

Energy delivered through catheters changes the targeted tissue. The proposed method depends on the rhythm and treatment plan.

Ongoing rhythm care

Some people need medicines, monitoring or further procedures afterward. Ablation does not automatically mean blood-thinning treatment can stop.

Your decision, your questions

Questions for your chosen doctor

Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.

Your existing case file

Records to organise

We organise the ecgs showing the abnormal rhythm and monitor reports alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the cardiac electrophysiologist to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.

Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.

Bring together what is available

  • ECGs showing the abnormal rhythm and monitor reports
  • Previous electrophysiology or ablation records
  • Echocardiogram and other completed cardiac investigations
  • Medicine history, side effects and a symptom timeline
  • Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details

When you cannot attend yourself

How Redwood takes your case to your doctor

  1. Tell us whom you have chosen. Share the doctor’s name, hospital or clinic, and the decision you want reviewed.
  2. Prepare the case with us. We organise your existing records, treatment timeline and questions, then coordinate the appointment.
  3. We attend with your case. Your Care Steward takes the organised heart rhythm ablation (cardiac catheter ablation) case file to the cardiac electrophysiologist you selected and puts forward your recorded questions. After the consultation, we share the doctor's recommendations and consultation documents with you.

A video call during the consultation can be arranged if the doctor allows.

We respond within 12 hours of your enquiry.
