At Englewood Hospital’s Arrhythmia Center, our team of Cardiac Electrophysiologists uses advanced computer mapping systems to visualize real-time images of the electrical activity within a patient’s heart. These new mapping technologies include phased-array intracardiac ultrasound and both contact and non-contact mapping, all of which improve the efficacy of diagnosis and safety of subsequent treatment. This information is used to pinpoint the location of normal and abnormal heartbeats— information vital to treating arrhythmias.
Our Arrhythmia Center is one of the few centers that treat atrial fibrillation with catheter-based procedures—those that utilize long flexible wires placed within the heart in an attempt to stop the arrhythmia at its source. In many cases, this technology cures troublesome arrhythmia.
We are one of the few centers in the tri-state area to use cryoablation for the treatment of certain arrhythmias. We also provide the latest implantable cardioverter devices (ICD) and pacemakers for those patients who need them.
The Arrhythmia Center provides personal support through regularly scheduled ICD Support Group dinner meetings, allowing for open question-and-answer sessions, special guest speakers and tips on living with your ICD. |
