Arrhythmia is a disturbance in the rhythm of the heart as it pumps blood through the body. Arrhythmia can occur after a heart attack, but can come about in other ways, including through a natural aberration in the heart’s electrical signals.
We offer the full spectrum of arrhythmia care, including electrophysiology studies (EPS), head-up-tilt table testing, and implantable pacemakers and defibrillators. Defibrillators (also called ICDs) are small devices placed under the skin to automatically resuscitate the heart in the event of life-threatening irregularities or cardiac arrests. They dramatically increase the likelihood of survival.
Pacemaker & Implantable Cardioverter Debifibrillator (ICD) Clinic
If you do have a pacemaker or ICD implanted, we provide assessment and reprogramming of these devices, as needed, on an outpatient basis in our Pacemaker & Implantable Cardioverter Debifibrillator ICD Clinic. The clinic is located on Macomber 5 and sees patients who have single or dual chamber pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) pacemakers. We also have an ICD support group.
