Heart Rhythm Study With Ablation For SVT

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 93653

A catheter study of the heart's electrical system followed by treatment of a fast rhythm that starts in the upper chambers. Thin wires are threaded through a vein into the heart to record its electrical signals and deliberately bring on the abnormal rhythm so its source can be pinpointed, then energy delivered through the catheter tip destroys that small patch of tissue. It is done under sedation or anesthesia and usually takes a few hours.
