Why Cardiologists Refer to HRHF Clinic ?
Electrophysiology is a subspecialty that demands both volume and technology. The outcomes your patients achieve depend directly on how many procedures a centre performs, what mapping systems are available, and whether the operating physician is a dedicated EP specialist or a general cardiologist covering multiple disciplines.
HRHF Clinic was built around a single commitment: to bring the highest standard of EP and Heart Failure care to patients across Western India — and to give referring cardiologists a partner they can trust completely. Dr. Rajesh Dhopeshwarkar has trained at AIIMS New Delhi, holds the FHRS credential, and has spent two decades building one of the highest-volume independent EP programmes in the country.
When you refer to HRHF Clinic, your patient is in the hands of a specialist whose entire practice is built around the condition you are referring for.
Three Commitments to Every Referring Physician
-
Direct Access to Dr. Dhopeshwarkar
Contact Dr. Dhopeshwarkar directly for pre-referral case discussion — before you commit to a referral. We respond within the same working day. Complex cases welcome.
-
Complete Documentation, Every Time
Every referred patient is returned to your care with full procedure notes, device implant records, post-procedure instructions, and a structured follow-up plan — without exception.
-
Your Patient Relationship Is Respected
We are your EP partner. Your patients will receive excellent Arrhythmia care. We send all patients back to their primary Doctor after the treatment is complete
Referral Indications — Full Procedural Scope
We accept referrals for all EP and Heart Failure device indications. The following table summarises our procedural scope and available technology.

| Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) Ablation | Scar-based VT, idiopathic VT, VT storm, epicardial access where required | Carto 3D electroanatomic mapping |
| SVT Ablation | AVNRT, AVRT (including WPW), atrial tachycardia, cavotricuspid isthmus flutter | RF ablation; 3D mapping for complex cases |
| Pacemaker Implantation | Single, dual chamber, His bundle pacing, leadless pacing (Micra) | Full device support |

-
Patient Appointment Confirmed
We contact the patient directly to schedule the consultation or procedure. We keep you informed of the appointment date. For urgent cases, same-week scheduling is routinely available.
-
Full Feedback Report Returned to You
After every consultation and procedure, we send a complete report to the referring physician — including diagnosis, procedure performed, device details where applicable, discharge summary, and follow-up plan. Your patient returns to your ongoing care.
The Technology Behind Better Outcomes
In Electrophysiology, the quality of the mapping system directly influences procedural outcomes. Ablation performed without 3D electroanatomic guidance relies on fluoroscopy alone — increasing radiation exposure, reducing accuracy, and limiting the complexity of cases that can be safely addressed. HRHF Clinic operates with the Carto 3D mapping system at NM Wadia Institute of Cardiology — the global standard for complex ablation. This allows us to take on cases that cannot be done safely without it, including scar-based VT, complex AF, and re-do ablation procedures.
-
Carto 3D Electroanatomic Mapping
Precise 3D reconstruction of cardiac chambers. Real-time catheter visualisation. Lesion tagging and contact force monitoring. Essential for complex AF, VT, and re-do cases.
-
Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA)
Next-generation ablation modality. Tissue-selective energy delivery with reduced risk of oesophageal, phrenic nerve, and pulmonary vein stenosis complications compared to thermal ablation. HRHF Clinic is establishing PFA capability as it becomes available in India.
A Teaching Centre Holds Itself to a Higher Standard
HRHF Clinic runs a structured one-year fellowship in clinical electrophysiology — one of the few dedicated EP training programmes in western India. The existence of this programme means our protocols, documentation standards, and procedural discipline are maintained at an academic benchmark. When you refer to a teaching centre, you refer to a centre that documents everything, follows evidence-based protocols, and is accountable for its outcomes in a way that general clinical practice rarely demands.
