Chennai hospital introduces advanced 3D technology for treating complex arrhythmias

Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani, on Thursday (January 8, 2026), introduced an advanced electroanatomical mapping technology for the treatment of complex heart rhythm disorders.

Doctors from the hospital said that the newly launched technology enables precise and safer diagnosis and treatment of complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, which affects the upper chambers of the heart, and ventricular tachycardia, a potentially life-threatening rapid rhythm originating from the lower chambers. 

The launch event was attended by actor R. Sarathkumar, along with Aravindan Selvaraj, co-founder and executive director of Kauvery Group of Hospitals, and Deep Chandh Raja, senior consultant and director of Cardiac Electrophysiology at Kauvery Hospital, Vadapalani.

Among the technologies introduced is the CARTO™ 3 system, which allows clinicians to create detailed three-dimensional maps of the heart’s electrical activity, helping accurately identify the source of abnormal rhythms. The hospital has also introduced CARTOSOUND® technology, which provides real-time imaging of the heart during procedures. 

In addition, the QDOT® catheter, designed to deliver high-power, short-duration energy for the treatment of atrial fibrillation, and the nGEN® radiofrequency ablation system, used to safely eliminate abnormal electrical pathways, are now available at the facility, doctors said.

Dr. Raja explained that arrhythmias occur due to abnormal electrical circuits in the heart and can cause symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, breathlessness, and fainting. While many rhythm disorders can be treated with standard electrophysiology studies and radiofrequency ablation, he said complex arrhythmias require advanced technology and specialised expertise.
