Arrhythmia -Syncope and Device Clinic

Our Arrhythmia-Syncope and Device Clinic was established to provide appropriate follow up after the completion of electrophysiologic procedures and pacemaker/ICD implantation.  In addition to specialized care, we have state-of-the-art equipment that allows us to provide pacemaker and ICD interrogation and reprogramming side-by-side with medical management and follow up. In some cases, it is appropriate for us to provide virtual pacemaker/ICD evaluations, allowing patients to avoid an actual visit to the office.

Diagnostic tools include 24-hour Holter monitoring, 30-day continuous digital loop recording, and tilt table testing for the evaluation of dizziness and fainting spells.

Be assured that the details of diagnostic testing will be forwarded to your primary care provider in a timely manner.

Background

Arrhythmias are abnormal heart rhythms. Arrhythmias may be of no clinical significance

when they occur in the healthy heart, however, they can also indicate serious problems

that may lead to stroke or sudden cardiac death.  Life-style changes, medications,

device implantation and electrophysiology interventions are among the treatment

options available to patients with arrhythmias.
