Cardiac Electrophysiology
The cardiac electrophysiology service offers comprehensive diagnostic and treatment services for patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The complete range of services includes active clinical and research programs, drug therapy programs, radiofrequency ablations, Arctic Front Cryo Catheter System ablations, Stereotaxis magnetic navigation system, internal and external cardioversions, pacemaker and AICD implantation, laser lead extractions and tilt table studies.

The service has two dedicated electrophysiology laboratories supported by three full-time cardiac electrophysiologists, one pediatric electrophysiologist, one physician assistant, five nurses and four technical assistants. Patients and their families receive educational information throughout their care — from hospitalization to outpatient follow-up.

Cardiac Rehabilitation
This program helps rehabilitate patients who are recovering from myocardial infarction, heart failure, coronary artery bypass surgery, angioplasty or cardiac transplantation. The program includes patient education, exercise training, weight reduction and dietary counseling.

Cardiology Valve Clinic
The Cardiology Valve Clinic provides evaluations for those with aortic valve stenosis who want to be considered for a minimally invasive valve replacement procedure called transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR. In order to be considered for TAVR, patients must be ineligible for traditional open-heart surgical valve replacement. To request a referral, call 916-734-6500.
