Atypical Left Atrial Flutter in a Post-CABG Patient: A 3D Mapping–Guided Ablation Approach

Atrial arrhythmias in patients with prior coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) can be complex, challenging, and often recurrent. Scar-related circuits, atrial remodeling, and structural heart disease make diagnosis and management significantly more demanding. This case highlights an atypical left atrial (LA) flutter successfully diagnosed and treated using advanced electrophysiological study (EPS), high-density (HD) mapping, and […]

Heart Palpitations: When to Worry You May Have an Irregular Heartbeat

Most people experience heart palpitations at least once in their life. It may feel like your heart is racing, fluttering, skipping a beat, or pounding harder than usual. Often, it happens suddenly—during rest, after exercise, or even while lying quietly in bed at night. For many, palpitations are harmless and temporary. But in some cases, […]

Atypical Atrial Flutter: Advanced Mapping, Scar-Related Circuits, and Successful Catheter Ablation

Atrial flutter is often perceived as a straightforward arrhythmia, especially when it involves the cavotricuspid isthmus (CTI). However, atypical atrial flutter, particularly in the presence of atrial scar, presents a far more complex diagnostic and therapeutic challenge. Accurate identification of the re-entrant circuit is essential to ensure durable procedural success. This case highlights the role […]

Focal Atrial Tachycardia Successfully Treated with 3D-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation

A Detailed Case-Based Explanation Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) can significantly affect quality of life and, in some cases, pose serious health risks. One such rhythm disorder is Focal Atrial Tachycardia (AT)—a condition where rapid heartbeats originate from a specific abnormal focus within the atria rather than the heart’s normal pacemaker. This blog presents a real-world […]

Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF): When a Normal Echo Doesn’t Mean a Normal Heart

Heart failure is often misunderstood as a condition where the heart becomes weak and cannot pump blood effectively. While this is true for many patients, there is an important and increasingly common form of heart failure where the heart’s pumping function appears normal on tests. This condition is called Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction […]

Successful 3D-Guided Radiofrequency Ablation for Focal Atrial Tachycardia

A Case was led by Dr. M. S. Chandramouli, Senior Electrophysiologist, from Yashoda Hospitals, Secunderabad  Abnormal heart rhythms can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life—especially when they occur after a heart attack. This case highlights the successful diagnosis and treatment of focal atrial tachycardia (AT) using advanced electrophysiology study (EPS) and 3D-guided radiofrequency ablation […]

AF Ablation with High-Power Short-Duration (HPSD): How Pre- and Post-Ablation Mapping Is Transforming Success Rates

By Dr. M.S. Chandramouli | MD, DM, IDCCM, PDF(EP), ECDS | Consultant Electrophysiologist & Heart Failure Specialist | Yashoda Hospitals – Secunderabad | ☎ 906 342 0686 Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common heart rhythm disorders affecting millions worldwide. Over the last decade, catheter ablation has become a cornerstone therapy for patients […]

A Heartfelt Recovery: How Dr. M.S. Chandramouli Transformed a Family’s Life Through Expert EPS RFA Treatment

When a loved one faces a heart rhythm problem, every second feels like a lifetime. For Mrs. Laxmi Erra, the journey from uncertainty to complete recovery came through the skilled hands of Dr. M.S. Chandramouli, one of the most trusted Electrophysiologists and Heart Failure Specialists in Hyderabad. Her daughter recalls the experience with deep gratitude: […]

Heart Failure: Understanding the Silent Crisis and the Hope Ahead | Dr. M S ChandraMouli | Electrophysiologist

Heart failure doesn’t mean the heart has stopped working — it means it’s struggling to pump efficiently.In Hyderabad’s fast-paced lifestyle filled with stress, diabetes, hypertension, and delayed health checks, heart failure is silently emerging as a major cause of hospitalization. Yet, with modern electrophysiology and heart-failure management, patients today have a real chance to live […]

Beating Life-Threatening Heart Rhythm Chaos – A 55-Year-Old Patient’s Journey from Cardiac Arrest to Recovery

Clinical story of a 55-year-old man who survived a heart attack only to be thrown into a relentless cycle of life‑threatening heart rhythms. This article walks you through the case in detail—what happened, why the conventional treatments sometimes fail, and how an advanced surgical strategy, a VATS-guided bilateral sympathectomy, ultimately stopped the cycle of ventricular […]
