Catheter Ablation for Heart Rhythm Disorders
Minimally Invasive AFib Treatment in North County San Diego – Serving Vista, Oceanside & Carlsbad
At Tri-City Cardiology and Arrhythmia Services, we offer expert catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation and arrhythmias to patients across Vista, Oceanside, Carlsbad, and surrounding areas of North County San Diego. This minimally invasive procedure corrects abnormal heart rhythms by targeting the source of the electrical disturbance — helping restore a steady heartbeat and reduce symptoms like palpitations, fatigue, and shortness of breath.
What Is Catheter Ablation?
• Atrial fibrillation (AFib)
• Atrial flutter
• Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
• Ventricular tachycardia
If you live in Vista, Oceanside, or Carlsbad, and are seeking non-surgical AFib
Who Is a Candidate for Ablation?
You may benefit from ablation if:
• Medications haven’t effectively controlled your heart rhythm
• You’re experiencing ongoing symptoms or worsening AFib
• You’re at risk for stroke or heart failure due to your arrhythmia
• You prefer a long-term solution to avoid lifelong use of antiarrhythmics
What to Expect During the Procedure
Performed by Dr. Mohammad Pash, a fellowship-trained cardiac electrophysiologist, this procedure typically lasts 2–4 hours in a hospital setting.
You’ll receive:
• Local anesthesia or mild sedation
• Catheters inserted through the groin and guided to the heart
• Targeted energy applied to correct faulty heart signals
Most North County San Diego patients — including those from Vista, Carlsbad, and Oceanside — return home the same or next day.
