We specialize in cardiac arrhythmias, particularly atrial fibrillation—from diagnosis to treatment.
We are a center of excellence, meaning we have everything under one roof and offer a comprehensive range of services. We specialize in state-of-the-art cardiology, electrophysiology, and cardiac surgery, and are equipped with a modern hybrid operating room and a high-quality recovery room. Preparation, treatment, and follow-up care are provided by our interdisciplinary team of highly specialized physicians, including cardiac anesthesiologists, as well as highly experienced nurses and medical practice assistants.
Focus on Evidence-Based Medicine and Quality
Evidence-based medicine and the implementation of the latest guidelines are central to Swiss Ablation. With our own quality management (QM) system, we ensure the highest standards. In addition, we implement the latest radiation protection regulations and work, wherever possible, completely without radiation (“non-fluoro”).
As a member of H+ Swiss Hospitals, we stand for quality and safety in medical treatment. Furthermore, Swiss Ablation actively participates in the Swiss Foundation for Rhythmology and its national rhythmology database, which enables continuous quality assurance and scientific evaluation of treatment outcomes. Swiss Ablation is internationally recognized as a Center of Excellence of the Arrhythmia Alliance and specializes in modern cardiology and electrophysiology.
Billing and Patient Services
For our Swiss patients, billing is based on TARMED, so that the costs (consultation, second opinion, and all treatments) are covered by basic health insurance (OKP). Our dedicated administrative team is always available to assist you with advice and support.
We can usually offer you an appointment for an ablation within 7 days.
We also welcome patients from all over the world. This includes patients with international health insurance (BUPA, CIGNA, etc.), self-paying patients living abroad, and patients whose treatment costs are covered by companies, organizations, or embassies. Our international department is here to assist you with all these matters.
Our Services
Ablation refers to the localized destruction of diseased tissue in the heart at a specific site. This is typically performed using various techniques via a catheter inserted into the heart through the groin. The goal is to permanently eliminate heart rhythm disorders. This is our core expertise.
