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.

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.
- What rhythm has been documented, and is it suitable for catheter ablation?
- What improvement should I expect for my particular arrhythmia?
- What are the main risks at the proposed treatment site?
- Which medicines and rhythm checks would continue, and could another procedure be needed?

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
