Procedures
-
Pacemakers Pacemakers
Pacemakers are battery-powered implantable
devices that function to electrically stimulate the heart to
contract and pump blood throughout the body at the proper
rate.
-
Biventricular Pacemaker/ICDs
Biventricular Pacemakers
A Biventricular Pacemaker/ICDs is a type of
implantable pacemaker designed to treat a specific heart
condition in which both the left and right sides of the heart
are out of sync. Whereas pacemakers are used to pace only the
right side of the heart a biventricular device paces both the
right and left sides of the heart simultaneously.
-
Electrophysiologic Studies
Electrophysiologic Studies
Electrophysiologic studies are used
to determine the part of the heart that is causing the
abnormal rhythm, and which treatments might work best to
return that rhythm to normal by evaluating the heart's
electrical conduction system under in a controlled environment.
-
Catheter Ablation Catheter
Ablation
Catheter Ablations are a treatment to selectively
destroy "short circuits" within the heart that cause abnormal
rhythms.
-
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
(ICD) Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)
An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator, or
ICD, connects to leads positioned inside the heart. These
leads are used to deliver controlled electrical shocks to
reset the heart should its rhythm become so abnormal as to be
life threatening.
-
ElectrocardiogramElectrocardiogram
The Electrocardiogram or ECG is a recording of the small
electric waves being generated during heart activity.
-
Stress testing including nuclearStress testing including nuclear
A stress test, sometimes called a treadmill test or exercise test, helps a doctor find out how well your heart handles work. As your body works harder during the test, it requires more oxygen, so the heart must pump more blood. The test can show if the blood supply is reduced in the arteries that supply the heart. It also helps doctors know the kind and level of exercise appropriate for a patient.
-
EchocardiogramEchocardiogram
An Echocardiogram uses sound waves to create moving
pictures of the heart so doctors can see how it is functioning.
-
Holter MonitoringHolter Monitoring
Holter monitoring provides a continuous recording
of heart rhythm during normal activity. The monitor is usually
worn for 24 hours to obtain a recording of a complete day.
Conditions
-
Atrial Fibrillation Atrial
Fibrillation
Atrial Fibrillation is a condition in which the
upper part of your heart beats (quivers) faster than the rest
of your heart, which may present itself as an uncomfortable
flutter in your chest, your heart pounding against your ribs,
an irregular or rapid pulse, lightheadedness or shortness of
breath.
-
TachycardiaTachycardia
An arrhythmia is a change in the rhythm of
your heartbeat. When the heart beats too fast, it's called
tachycardia. When it beats too slow, it's called bradycardia.
An arrhythmia can also mean that your heart beats irregularly
(skips a beat or has an extra beat).
-
BradycardiaBradycardia
An arrhythmia is a change in the rhythm of your
heartbeat. When the heart beats too fast, it's called
tachycardia. When it beats too slow, it's called bradycardia.
An arrhythmia can also mean that your heart beats irregularly
(skips a beat or has an extra beat).
-
Syncope (fainting) Syncope
Syncope is a temporary loss of
consciousness and posture, described as "fainting" or
"passing out." It's usually related to temporary insufficient
blood flow to the brain and often occurs when the the heart
doesn't pump a normal supply of oxygen to the brain or blood
pressure is too low.
-
Sudden Cardiac DeathSudden Cardiac
Death
Also known as ventricular
fibrillation (VF) is a very fast, chaotic heart rate in the
lower chambers of the heart, resulting from multiple areas of
the ventricles attempting to control the heart's
rhythm.
