Electrophysiology

• Biventricular Pacemaker
  A biventricular pacemaker is a cardiac resynchronization technique that is used as a treatment for heart failure. A biventricular pacemaker is a device that is implanted in the chest. It sends electrical impulses to resynchronize or coordinate the pumping action of the heart chambers. Both of the heart ventricles are controlled to pace at the same time to improve the heart’s pumping efficiency and reduce the symptoms of heart failure. Feel confident that the surgeons at Heartland Cardiovascular Center employ the latest advancements in the field for cardiac resynchronization.
  
• Pacemaker Implants
  Pacemaker implants are small devices used to regulate a heartbeat and promote healthy heart pumping. If the heart’s natural pacemaker is impaired, it can cause the heartbeat to be too slow, too fast, or irregular. A pacemaker has a sensing device, and when necessary, sends an electrical impulse to the heart to restore a regular heart beat.
  
• Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator
  An implantable cardioverter defibrillator is used to restore normal heart rhythm and prevent sudden death for people with ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation, types of abnormal heart rhythms. The device is surgically placed beneath the skin and connected to leads that are located inside or on the surface of the heart. When the device detects an abnormal heart rhythm, it shocks the heart to reestablish a normal rhythm.
  
• Catheter Ablation
  Catheter ablation is a treatment method for some types of rapid heartbeats. It is most frequently used for rapid heartbeats that originate in the upper chambers of the heart. The procedure involves inserting a catheter into the affected area of the heart. Electrodes on the tip of the catheter deliver intense cold temperature (cryoablation) or radiofrequency energy to destroy the heart cells that are responsible for eliciting the abnormal heart rhythm. The surgeons at Heartland Cardiovascular Center are experts at performing catheter ablation and electrophysiology techniques.
  
• Radio Frequency Ablation
  Radiofrequency ablation is a widely used treatment for many types of abnormal rapid heartbeats. It involves destroying carefully selected heart muscle cells to stop the impulses that cause rapid heart beating. The heart cells are destroyed using radiofrequency energy that is delivered from the tip of a catheter.
