Arrhythmia Treatment in Town Hospital
About the clinic
Arrhythmia care at Town Hospital in Fifth Settlement, New Cairo, Egypt, includes heart rhythm testing, medical management, catheter-based procedures, and device implantation. The hospital has a Philips bi-plane cath-lab and a cardiac catheterization unit open 24/7.
Arrhythmia diagnostics
A cardiologist can assess symptoms with an ECG and recommend further tests, including 24-hour Holter monitoring. The hospital also has a 3-Tesla MRI and 128-slice CT scanner.
- Heart rhythm tests: ECG, exercise stress ECG, and 24-hour Holter monitoring.
- Heart imaging and blood-flow tests: Echocardiography, cardiac and vascular Doppler, 3-Tesla MRI, and 128-slice CT.
- Other checks: Cardiology consultation, blood pressure measurement, blood lipid profile, and diagnostic cardiac catheterization.
Medical and interventional treatment
Rhythm-disorder management uses ECG and, when needed, continuous Holter monitoring to guide a cardiologist-led plan. Cardiac catheterization and catheter-based interventions are available in the Philips bi-plane cath-lab.
- Pacemaker implantation: An option for dangerous rhythm disturbances.
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD): A device option for dangerous rhythm disturbances.
- Heart Health Package: Includes a cardiology consultation, ECG, echocardiogram, lipid profile, and blood pressure check. An exercise stress test is an optional add-on. A 9–12-hour fast is preferred before the lipid profile.
Prof. Shihab Adel Al-Atrabi is a Professor of Cardiovascular Medicine at Ain Shams University and a SCAI fellow. He specializes in complex coronary and catheter-based valvular interventions.

Accreditations and Achievements
The hospital holds accreditations from ESMO and ASCO. It is also recognized among Leading Hospitals. Town Hospital was the first facility in Egypt to perform stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) for drug-resistant epilepsy.
Neurosurgery and Neurology
Professor Dr. Osama El Ghannam heads the neurosurgery department. The team uses microsurgical and neuro-navigation techniques for complex brain and spine procedures. Specialists treat various conditions:
- Drug-resistant epilepsy using the SEEG program
- Brain and central nervous system tumors
- Pituitary adenomas via endoscopic transsphenoidal surgery
- Herniated discs and chronic spine pain
- Aneurysm coiling and vascular interventions
The epilepsy program brings together Egyptian and Indian specialists, including Dr. Nitchan and Dr. Ahmed El-Qeai. For facial nerve palsy, the hospital reports an 85% full recovery rate when treatment begins within 72 hours. A dedicated EEG and EMG unit supports neurology services for precise nerve damage assessment.
Cardiology and Vascular Care
The cardiology department covers everything from diagnostic evaluation to long-term follow-up. Physicians manage hypertension, valve disease, and vascular disorders. A Philips bi-plane cath-lab supports coronary and cerebral interventions. Vascular specialists treat varicose veins using endovenous radiofrequency ablation (EVRF) and laser techniques.
Diagnostic Technologies
Town Hospital has an on-site diagnostic center available 24 hours a day. High-resolution imaging supports accurate surgical planning. Key equipment includes:
- 3-Tesla MRI
- 128-slice CT scanner
- Digital X-ray and 4D ultrasound
- 24-hour Holter monitoring and stress ECG
- Electromyography (EMG) and EEG for nerve studies
Operating theaters use capsulated theatre concepts to meet international infection control standards. Digital ID pass controls and restricted entry protocols protect critical overnight service areas.
Services for International Patients
A dedicated team assists patients from Libya, Saudi Arabia, and other regions. Patients can receive a remote medical evaluation via WhatsApp before traveling. This includes a review of medical reports and scans to provide a preliminary treatment plan. Multilingual online appointment booking helps streamline the arrival process.
