Atrial Flutter (AFL)

Atrial Flutter (AFL) and Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) are abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) that cause the heart to beat too fast, irregularly, or inefficiently. These conditions increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, and other cardiovascular complications if left untreated. Germany is a global leader in electrophysiology, offering advanced catheter ablation techniques, minimally invasive procedures, and medication-based management to restore normal heart rhythm and reduce the risk of complications.

At WEGOVITA, we connect patients with Germany’s leading electrophysiologists, specialized arrhythmia centers, and cutting-edge heart hospitals to provide top-tier AFib & AFL treatment with high success rates.


📍Phase 1: Pre-Arrival Services (Before Traveling to Germany)

  • ✅ Virtual consultation with Germany’s top arrhythmia specialists & electrophysiologists.
  • ✅ Review of ECG, Holter monitoring, stress tests, echocardiography, and MRI results.
  • ✅ Personalized treatment plan & cost estimation based on the severity of the arrhythmia.
  • ✅ Visa assistance, accommodation arrangements, and airport-hospital transfers.
💰Estimated Cost for Pre-Arrival Services: €1,500 – €3,000

📍Phase 2: Diagnostic Workup & Pre-Treatment Evaluation

  • ✅ Comprehensive electrophysiological assessment by leading German cardiologists.
  • ✅ Electrocardiogram (ECG) & 24-72h Holter Monitoring – Detects irregular heart rhythms.
  • ✅ Echocardiography & Doppler Ultrasound – Assesses heart structure and function.
  • ✅ Electrophysiology Study (EPS) – Maps electrical pathways inside the heart.
  • ✅ Cardiac MRI or CT Scan – Identifies structural abnormalities.
  • ✅ Blood Tests & Thyroid Function Analysis – Determines if metabolic disorders contribute to arrhythmia.
💰 Estimated Cost for Diagnostic Workup: €5,000 – €9,000

📍Phase 3: Treatment Options for Atrial Flutter & Atrial Fibrillation

The treatment approach depends on the severity, duration, and symptoms of the arrhythmia.

1. Medication-Based Management (For Mild & Early-Stage Cases)

  • ✔️ Antiarrhythmic Drugs – Medications like amiodarone, flecainide, or sotalol to control heart rhythm.
  • ✔️ Beta-Blockers & Calcium Channel Blockers – Reduce heart rate and improve efficiency.
  • ✔️ Anticoagulation Therapy (Blood Thinners) – Warfarin, DOACs (Eliquis, Xarelto) to reduce stroke risk.

💰 Estimated Cost for Medication Therapy & Monitoring: €2,000 – €5,000

2. Catheter Ablation for Atrial Flutter & Atrial Fibrillation

  • ✔️ Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) – Uses heat energy to destroy the abnormal heart tissue causing arrhythmia.
  • ✔️ Cryoablation – Freezing technique to eliminate faulty electrical pathways.
  • ✔️ Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI) – A highly effective procedure for AFib that targets triggers in the pulmonary veins.
  • ✔️ Procedure Duration: 2-4 hours under mild sedation or local anesthesia

💰 Estimated Cost for Catheter Ablation: €15,000 – €35,000

3. Surgical Procedures for Severe & Recurrent Cases

  • ✔️ Mini-Maze Procedure (Minimally Invasive Surgery) – A surgical alternative for patients who cannot undergo catheter ablation.
  • ✔️ Hybrid Approach – Combines catheter ablation and minimally invasive surgery for patients with persistent or long-standing AFib.
  • ✔️ Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Closure – Watchman device implantation to reduce stroke risk in AFib patients who cannot take blood thinners.

💰 Estimated Cost for AFib Surgery & Hybrid Procedures: €40,000 – €70,000

📍Phase 4: Post-Treatment Hospital Stay & Recovery

  • ✔️ 1-3 days in hospital for monitoring and immediate recovery.
  • ✔️ Continuous ECG & Holter monitoring to evaluate heart rhythm stability.
  • ✔️ Medication adjustments to optimize heart rate and prevent recurrence.
  • ✔️ Dietary & lifestyle modifications for long-term arrhythmia control.
💰 Estimated Cost for Hospital Stay & Recovery: €5,000 – €10,000

📍Phase 5: Long-Term Follow-Up & Arrhythmia Rehabilitation

  • ✔️ 3-6 months of structured rehabilitation (in Germany or home country).
  • ✔️ Supervised exercise therapy & lifestyle modifications to support heart health.
  • ✔️ Regular follow-up visits with electrophysiologists (in-person or virtual).
  • ✔️ Advanced remote heart monitoring to track arrhythmia recurrence.
  • ✔️ 24/7 telemedicine support for ongoing arrhythmia care.
💰 Estimated Cost for Rehabilitation & Follow-Up: €5,000 – €10,000
