Our Team
As a team, we strive to provide the best possible patient care for optimal patient outcomes. Our collaborative approach extends to coordinating care with interventional and non-invasive cardiology, congestive heart failure and structural heart disease, cardiothoracic surgery, primary care providers, neurology, emergency medicine and other specialties.
Our Services:
- Inpatient and outpatient consultations
- Medical management and monitoring of patients with heart rhythm disorders
- Monitoring of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices
- Tilt table study
- Epinephrine/Procainamide Challenge tests
- Transesophageal Echocardiography/Cardioversion
- Electrophysiology Study
- Catheter ablation of cardiac arrhythmias
- Implantation of cardiac monitors (loop recorders), defibrillators and pacemakers, including leadless pacemakers
- Left atrial appendage closure (WATCHMAN)
Common Diagnoses
Common diagnoses referred to arrhythmia service include:
- Atrial fibrillation: A condition that causes the heart to have both an irregular and rapid heartbeat. Atrial fibrillation can increase stroke risk if left untreated.
- Atrial flutter: A type of heart rhythm disorder in which the upper heart chambers beat too fast.
- Supraventricular Tachycardia: A disorder that causes an abnormal heartbeat.
- Ventricular Tachycardia
- Syncope
- Cardiac arrest
- Frequent premature ventricular ectopy
- Tachycardia-bradycardia syndrome
- Sinus node dysfunction
- Atrioventricular block
- Inherited arrhythmia syndromes
- Heart failure
