Ritmocardio

What Ritmocardio does

RitmoCardio is a Brasília-based specialized cardiology practice focused on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, founded around 2003 at Hospital Santa Lúcia. It operates as one of Brazil's earliest and most experienced catheter-based arrhythmia treatment groups, with a cumulative case volume of approximately 10,000 patients treated over two decades. The practice is led by 11 cardiac electrophysiologists supported by 2 clinical arrhythmologists and a specialized nurse, organized around a 3-year formation program that has graduated 8 physicians.

The practice delivers care through a portfolio that spans consultations, electrophysiological studies, four catheter ablation techniques (conventional radiofrequency, CARTO 3D electro-anatomical mapping, cryoablation, and multielectrode ablation), and implantation of cardiac electronic devices including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CDI), and cardiac resynchronizers. It also provides inpatient specialized opinions (pareceres) at Federal District hospitals and runs dual education tracks for clinicians and patients. Services are delivered directly to patients across 11 hospital and clinic locations concentrated in Brasília and Taguatinga, accessed primarily through physician referrals.

RitmoCardio generates revenue from professional services fees on consultations, therapeutic procedures, device implantations, and inpatient pareceres. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined per case. The go-to-market is direct-to-consumer within the DF healthcare market, with referral partnerships embedded in hospital credentialing arrangements. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or expansion outside the Federal District are evidenced in the input data.

Core offering

Ritmocardio is a specialized cardiology practice in Brasília, Brazil that diagnoses and treats cardiac arrhythmias through specialized medical consultations, electrophysiological studies, multiple catheter ablation techniques (conventional, CARTO 3D electro-anatomical mapping, cryoablation, and multi-electrode ablation), and implantation of cardiac electronic devices including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (CDI), and cardiac resynchronizers. The practice also delivers specialized inpatient medical opinions and runs a 3-year training program in arrhythmia and cardiac electrophysiology.

Product overview

RitmoCardio is a specialized cardiology practice offering a comprehensive portfolio of cardiac arrhythmia and electrophysiology services. The practice provides specialized consultations, diagnostic electrophysiological studies, and four distinct catheter ablation techniques (conventional, CARTO 3D mapping, cryoablation, and multielectrode). Additionally, they offer implantable cardiac electronic devices including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronizers. The practice operates both as a clinical service provider and a training center, with a 3-year formation program in arrhythmia and cardiac electrophysiology. They also provide continuing medical education and patient education programs.

Products and services

• Ablação por Cateter Convencional (Conventional Catheter Ablation) Catheter-based treatment of cardiac arrhythmias that cauterizes arrhythmia foci identified through electrophysiological study. Provided to patients with cardiac rhythm disorders.
• Ablação por Cateter com Sistema de Mapeamento Tridimensional CARTO (CARTO 3D Mapping Catheter Ablation) Non-fluoroscopic endocardial mapping that generates colorized 3D maps of impulse propagation in cardiac chambers to guide catheter navigation and ablation site determination. Provided to arrhythmia patients.
• Ablação por Cateter por Crioablação (Cryoablation) Safer catheter ablation using liquid nitrogen to lower catheter temperature to approximately -72°C, destroying arrhythmia-causing tissue. Particularly useful in pediatric patients, near vulnerable heart locations, and in atrial fibrillation cases.
• Ablação por Cateter de Multieletrodos (Multi-Electrode Catheter Ablation) Atrial fibrillation ablation technique using fewer catheters, reducing procedure time to about 1 hour 40 minutes, eliminating need for urinary catheter and general anesthesia, and lowering cost compared to conventional technique.
• Cardiodesfibrilador Automático (CDI) Implantation Implantation of an automatic cardioverter defibrillator under the skin (typically below the clavicle) with electrode leads that monitor the heart and deliver electrical pulses when needed, for arrhythmia and sudden cardiac death prevention.
• Ressincronizador Cardíaco Implantation (Cardiac Resynchronizer) Implantation of a specialized pacemaker indicated for congestive heart failure (CHF) caused by cardiac arrhythmias, commonly associated with atrial fibrillation.
• Marcapasso Cardíaco Artificial (MP) Implantation (Artificial Cardiac Pacemaker) Implantation of an artificial electrical stimulation system that delivers electrical discharges or pulses to the heart, consisting of a generator unit with electronic circuits and battery connected to the heart via electrode leads.
• Estudo Eletrofisiológico (Electrophysiological Study) Diagnostic procedure that analyzes conduction system time intervals and stimulates the heart to identify specific types of arrhythmias, supporting diagnosis and ablation targeting.
• Consultas Especializadas (Specialized Cardiology Consultations) Specialized medical consultations for patients with cardiac rhythm disorders, including bradyarrhythmias, tachyarrhythmias, syncope, and risk identification for fatal arrhythmias.
• Pareceres Especializados (Specialized Medical Opinions) Specialized arrhythmia opinions for hospitalized patients in Federal District hospitals, requested by the responsible physicians when arrhythmia evaluation is required.

• Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein: Large Brazilian private hospital with a strong cardiology and electrophysiology service line. Comparable as a competitor for arrhythmia cases and a broader incumbent that bundles EP into a full multi-specialty hospital offering.
• Rede D'Or São Luiz: Largest private hospital network in Brazil offering cardiology services across many sites. Comparable as a broad incumbent whose scale, payer relationships and ability to standardize arrhythmia protocols across hospitals could pressure specialty EP groups like RitmoCardio.
• Mayo Clinic – Cardiac Arrhythmia Service: International reference center for cardiac arrhythmias, performing catheter ablation and device implantation at very high volumes. Comparable to RitmoCardio as the upper benchmark for clinical excellence, training pipelines and complex-case referral gravity in EP.
