Experience
With over 30 years of experience in electrophysiology (EP), our service and physicians have performed thousands of procedures at an accredited, high-volume tertiary care center. Positioned in a medical facility of this caliber, the Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Center has physicians from all specialties at its disposal whenever necessary. Learn more about our experience.
Staff and Physicians
The physicians performing atrial fibrillation ablation must adhere to strict criteria for privileging at our center. In addition to being board-certified electrophysiologists (board-certified cardiologists with additional years of study in arrhythmias), they must demonstrate considerable proficiency with ablations, and specifically adequate proficiency for AF ablation, to ensure our center's high skill level. Learn more about our staff and physicians.
Technology
AF ablation is the most complex of ablation procedures and requires use of multiple catheter-imaging and navigation systems in order to adequately evaluate AF and perform ablation safely. The AF Center has access to and uses the most advanced technologies in every AF ablation we perform.
Many AF patients also have other supraventricular tachycardias that are more organized. These tachycardias are usually the ones we call atrial flutter. Ablation of atrial flutters observed during AF ablation is important for the AF patient, as the rapid heartbeats of the flutters can be responsible for AF episodes or cause significant symptoms. We use three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping and diagnostic pacing techniques to identify these circuits. Learn more about our technology.
Patient Stories
Patients often travel to the Atrial Fibrillation Ablation Center from some distance. We’ve had the opportunity to help patients from around the country and around the world. We understand what it means to leave home and travel for health care. We will continue our connection with you after the ablation by telephone and with telephone heart monitoring. We want you to have continued care and will work with the physician of your choice in your hometown to coordinate your care.
Every patient is unique. Some stories have similar themes related to how long it has taken to pinpoint AF as the reason for symptoms of fatigue and shortness of breath. Our staff members know how to thoroughly evaluate your symptoms and your heart rhythm.
