Our team includes board-certified cardiac electrophysiologists, doctors who treat conditions that cause the heart to beat too fast, too slowly, or in irregular patterns. They are joined by specially trained nurses and physician assistants who provide all the care they need, from initial consultation to treatment and, for some, long-term cardiac device monitoring and follow-up.

Care for heart rhythm disorders
For over 30 years, we have treated people with the most difficult and complex heart rhythm disorders and are frequently referred from other hospitals. Our arrhythmia center is one of the busiest arrhythmia centers in the country, and research shows that centers that treat the most patients have the best outcomes.
“Everyone supports you before and after treatment. They sit with you, talk to you, and try to take care of you in the best way possible.”

We are a leader in the use of catheter ablation in the treatment of atrial fibrillation. The company is pioneering innovations in heart rhythm therapy, including leadless pacemakers and left atrial appendage occlusion devices such as Watchman, a permanent heart implant that reduces the risk of stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation who cannot take blood-thinning medications. is at the forefront of
We also have a genetic arrhythmia program that provides specialized care for people with genetic arrhythmias such as Brugada syndrome, long QT syndrome, and genetic cardiomyopathy.
We collaborate with echocardiologists, radiologists, interventional cardiologists, heart failure specialists, cardiovascular surgeons, and basic and clinical scientists to develop treatment plans tailored to each patient’s specific needs. doing.
Cardiac device management
Our team provides ongoing care and monitoring for people with cardiac devices that regulate their heart rate, such as pacemakers and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators. We manage and evaluate devices that use cardiac leads to connect to the heart. If the lead needs to be removed, our experienced team uses the most advanced imaging technology available in our state-of-the-art hybrid operating room to ensure the highest level of safety during the lead removal procedure .
