Our electrophysiology/arrhythmia services.
Research shows that interventional cardiology and electrophysiology procedures are very effective in eliminating blockages in the coronary arteries, correcting abnormal heart rhythms, placing lifesaving pacemakers and placing automatic defibrillators. Our services include:
- Ablation therapy
- Automatic implantable cardiac defibrillators (AICD)
- Electrophysiological studies
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)
- Maze and mini-maze procedures
- Pacemaker and ICD lead extraction
Our minimally invasive (interventional) surgical procedures.
Minimally invasive procedures require only a small incision and are often less risky, produce less pain and result in a faster, easier recovery than traditional surgery. Our minimally invasive procedures include:
