The cardiology and electrophysiology team at the Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) performed a low-risk, new technology procedure for atrial fibrillation, earlier this month. Although treatment of heart rhythm problems is a regular occurrence at AKUH, the use of this new technology is a testament to AKUH’s ongoing commitment to providing safe and quality healthcare services to patients. Dr. Yawer Saeed, Assistant Professor and Consultant, Cardiology and Electrophysiology, led the procedure “The latest procedure takes two to three hours, and the patient can return to work or drive after one week of the procedure,” Dr. Saeed stated, adding that both procedure and recovery time has been reduced considerably. Patients seeking care for atrial fibrillation at AKUH have the benefit of a multidisciplinary team to effectively manage this complex heart condition.
