Our electrophysiologists diagnose and provide treatment options for arrythmias and atrial fibrillation

Find a cardiac electrophysiologist

Cardiac electrophysiologists diagnose and treat abnormal heart rhythms, such as rapid heartbeats, skipped beats, or a fluttering sensation. 

Arrhythmia refers to several abnormal heart rhythms, including atrial fibrillation (AFib), which starts in the top chambers of the heart (atria). 

We are a high-quality, high-volume center, with the most advanced mapping and ablation technologies available.

Watch Game-changing Treatment for Atrial Fibrillation

Englewood Hospital's cardiac team offers life-saving treatment for people with atrial fibrillation (aFib) including those who cannot risk taking a blood thinner to treat this heart condition.

At Englewood Hospital, we identify and assess your condition using the latest diagnostic methods and technology, including noninvasive tests and 3D digital mapping systems. These tools help us determine the best care plan for you.

Cardiac Electrophysiology Treatments and Services

Our experienced team offers a range of advanced diagnosis and treatment options.

Arrhythmia Diagnosis

Our teams use advanced computer mapping systems to view real-time images of the electrical activity in your heart. These images pinpoint the location of normal and abnormal heartbeats—crucial information for treating arrhythmias. Our team may use one or more of these cardiac diagnostic tests to make or confirm a diagnosis:

  • Cardiac event monitor
  • Electrocardiogram
  • Electrophysiology study
  • Holter monitor
  • Tilt table testing

Arrhythmia and Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) Treatment Options

Our electrophysiologists treat atrial fibrillation and other arrhythmias with the latest approaches available. Your treatment will depend on the type and severity of your arrhythmia (based on where it occurs and how it affects heart rhythm). Learn more about treatment options for arrhythmia. 

 

Patients who come to us benefit from a high-quality, high-volume center. We have the most advanced mapping techniques to pinpoint the source of arrhythmias and targeted ablation technologies to treat them effectively.
