Electrophysiology
Health First's cardiac electrophysiology team specializes in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation (AFib), atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and ventricular arrhythmias. Using advanced diagnostic testing, catheter ablation, implantable devices, and personalized treatment plans, we help restore a healthy heart rhythm and improve quality of life.
What exactly is electrophysiology?
When it comes to your heart, expertise means everything. Our electrophysiology team is committed to providing exceptional care for heart rhythm disorders like atrial fibrillation and ventricular or supraventricular tachycardia.
Electrophysiology is a special area of cardiology. Cardiologists study the heart and blood vessels, while electrophysiologists (often called EPs) focus specifically on heart rhythm disorders.
An electrophysiology study is a test that records your heart’s electrical system.
Why do I need to see both a cardiologist and an EP?
If your cardiologist’s testing shows that you have a heart rhythm disorder like atrial fibrillation, you will see our EP team for evaluation and treatment. Our Cardiac Device Clinic, Atrial Fibrillation navigators, and virtual care options set us apart.
We offer several cutting-edge heart treatments and procedures, including:
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy
- Implantable cardiac defibrillator
- Pacemakers
- Loop recorders
- Left atrial appendage closure
