Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Services

Cardiac Event Monitoring: We have full capabilities to help monitor symptoms by using a small device that records rhythm disturbances or other cardiac abnormalities.

Electrophysiology Studies (EP Studies): This special cardiac catheterization procedure measures the function of the heart's own pacemaker and electrical system to diagnose and treat disorders of the heart’s rhythm.

Bi-Ventricular Pacing & Bi-Ventricular Defibrillator Implants: Two of the newest treatment options, these devices monitor and deliver impulses to either or both chambers of the heart, helping them contract in rhythm for the most natural and efficient function.

24 Hour Holter Monitoring: Rhythm disturbances or other abnormalities are analyzed on a computer and are matched to symptoms that the patient has recorded in a log.

Atrial Fibrillation Ablation: Atrial fibrillation is a very common arrhythmia but remains one of the most difficult to cure. This condition creates an irregular and rapid heart rate. The ablation procedure maps the area of the heart causing the arrhythmia, followed by the delivery of radiofrequency signals; it disconnects the pathways of the abnormal rhythm, thereby curing the patient of Atrial Fibrillation.

ICD Implants: Implantation of automatic intracardiac defibrillators, which monitor and correct potentially life-threatening rhythm disturbances of the heart.

Tilt Table: An examination table can tilt the patient from a near-standing position to a recumbent position to determine if changes in body position produce abnormal heart rhythms responsible for fainting, etc.

Pacemaker / ICD Clinic: We monitor the proper function of implanted pacemakers or defibrillators.

Radiofrequency Ablations: an electrophysiology procedure where abnormalities of heart rhythm caused by abnormal electrical pathways within the heart are corrected. The technology uses focused, high frequency radio waves to destroy the abnormal electrical pathways.

T-Wave Alternans: A non-invasive test that can identify patients who are at risk to develop sudden cardiac death.
