Imphal, July 12 2015 :
For the first time in Manipur, three heart patients have been given treatment for severe palpitation (cardiac arrhythmia) using Radio Frequency Ablation non-surgically by the doctors of SKY hospital led by its chief cardiologist Dr L Shyamkishore.
The procedure was performed by a team of doctors led by Dr Shyamkishore for three patients -two with accessory pathways and one without accessory pathway, he said.
Presence of abnormal tissues known as accessory pathways create severe palpitation.
The patients who have received this treatment in the hospital have been identified as Ayon Honrei (45) of Yaingangpokpi in Imphal East district, G Ginliankhup (51) of Churachandpur and A Ratan (34) of Iram Siphai in Thoubal district.

Dr Shyamkishore that all of them would be fully recovered within a week.
Radio Frequency Ablation is performed by putting four electrode catheters in the heart through neck blood vessel (vein) and right groin blood vessels.
The technique identifies the source of palpitation and ablates the abnormal tissues without damaging other vital tissues of the heart, he said.
Ayon Honrei said that she is lucky that her medical complicacy has been treated in the private hospital at International standard, thereby saving huge money.
Dr Shyamkishore said that the hospital has already given treatment to many patients hailing from different parts of North East States.
Many patients belonging to BPL families of the State have also been benefited by the hospital, he said.
He said that SKY hospital has many International standard equipment.
