The Hospital de la Familia in Mexicali, Mexico treats atrial fibrillation with specialized ablation procedures. Basic diagnostics like an ECG may cost around $50, while radiofrequency ablation treatments typically range from $3,625 for a procedure package to around $18,000 for a comprehensive package. The clinic's proximity to the US border helps patients avoid long wait times for these cardiac procedures.
Initial evaluation for heart rhythm issues includes an Electrocardiogram (ECG). This test is a quick and non-invasive way to assess the heart's electrical activity. Results help the cardiologist confirm a diagnosis of atrial fibrillation and plan the most suitable treatment.
The primary procedure for this condition is radiofrequency ablation. This is a catheter-based technique. It uses targeted energy to create small scars in heart tissue. These scars block the abnormal electrical signals causing the irregular heartbeat.
The treatment is performed by cardiologist Dr. Cuauhtémoc Vázquez. He specializes in this procedure. Dr. Vázquez works at the Mexicali and Tijuana clinic sites.
Patients have different package options for this treatment. Both options cover the essential medical components for a smooth experience. Each package requires an overnight hospital stay.
Both packages do not include international airfare, hotel stays, or ground transport from San Diego to the clinic. This allows for flexible travel planning.
Hospital de la Familia is a boutique hospital with 32 private rooms. It is located just steps from the US-Mexico border. The clinic holds accreditations from the Consejo Mexicano de Oftalmología and the Consejo de Salubridad General. It maintains a 4.1 patient rating and offers amenities like a 24/7 cafeteria.
