Our Electrophysiology Services
Comprehensive Diagnosis and Assessment
Understanding your heart rhythm disorder is the first step towards effective treatment. We offer a range of diagnostic tools to accurately identify and assess arrhythmias:
- Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): A primary tool for recording the electrical activity of the heart and detecting abnormalities.
- Holter Monitoring: Continuous ECG recording over 24-48 hours to monitor heart rhythms during daily activities.
- Event Monitoring: For intermittent arrhythmias, this device records heart activity when symptoms occur.
- Electrophysiology Study (EPS): A detailed, invasive test that maps the electrical pathways of the heart to identify the source of the arrhythmia.
Treatment Options for Heart Rhythm Disorders
Our approach to treating arrhythmias is tailored to each patient’s unique condition, combining advanced technology with personalized care:
- Medication Management: Prescribing and managing anti-arrhythmic medications to control heart rate and rhythm.
- Catheter Ablation: A minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy small areas of heart tissue causing abnormal rhythms.
- Implantable Devices:
- Pacemakers: Devices implanted to regulate slow heart rhythms.
- Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs): Devices that monitor and correct life-threatening rapid heart rhythms.
- Cardioversion: A procedure that uses electric shocks or medications to restore normal heart rhythm.
Specialized Care for Atrial Fibrillation
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is one of the most common types of arrhythmia, and our specialized care includes:
- Atrial Fibrillation Treatment: Comprehensive management plans that may include medication, catheter ablation, and lifestyle modifications.
- Stroke Prevention: Strategies to reduce the risk of stroke associated with AFib, including anticoagulant therapy.
