Irregular or Extra Heartbeat


The electrophysiology lab provides state-of-the-art biplane fluoroscopy equipment that facilitates complex catheter ablation procedures and reduces the amount of X-ray exposure which patients receive. The doctor routinely checks in with the patient before the procedure to answer any questions.

 

Treatment options for patients with arrhythmias include medication, catheter ablation, and placement of a pacemaker or ICD.
