Electrophysiological Conditions, Diagnostics & Treatments
The Electrophysiology Program at the Heart Institute has a devoted team of cardiac electrophysiologists who work to provide patients with efficient diagnosis and effective treatment for complex arrhythmia cases.
Conditions We Treat
The program's electrophysiologists use a multidisciplinary approach to manage and treat a spectrum of conditions related to arrhythmias such as:
- Atrial fibrillation
- Atrial flutter
- Brady Arrhythmia
- Cardiac arrest/Sudden cardiac death
- Familial arrhythmia syndromes
- Arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
- Brugada syndrome
- Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia
- Early repolarization
- Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
- Idiopathic ventricular fibrillation
- Long QT syndrome
- Short QT syndrome
- Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome
- Supraventricular tachycardia
- Atrial tachycardia
- AV nodal reentrant tachycardia
- AV reentrant tachycardia
- Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
- Syncope
- Ventricular arrhythmias
Diagnostic Services
Along with the standard methods of diagnosis, our team has special expertise in diagnostic procedures that measure the electrical conduction of the heart, abnormal heartbeat episodes (arrhythmia) and changes to the heart and blood pressure. The team also looks at electrical images of a patient's heart to determine how well the heart is working. Testing includes:
- Cardiac rhythm monitoring
- Electrocardiograms (EKGs)
- Electrophysiology studies
- Tilt table studies
Treatments
The program's team of board-certified physicians provides each individual case with comprehensive arrhythmia care. Treatment options include:
- Catheter ablation for arrhythmias
- Atrial filbrillation
- 3D mapping
- Cryo ablation
- Hybrid surgical ablation
- Radiofrequency ablation
- Atrial flutter
- Premature ventricular contractions
- Supraventricular tachycardia
- Ventricular tachycardia
- Atrial filbrillation
- Cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs)
- Cardiac resynchronization pacemakers/ICDs
- His bundle pacing
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)
- Leadless pacemakers
- Loop recorders
- Pacemakers
- Subcutaneous ICD
- Cardiac resynchronization pacemakers/ICDs
- Lead management and extractions
- Left atrial appendage occlusion
- Lariat
- Watchman
