Electrophysiology
Cardiac arrhythmia – or irregular heartbeat – can have many causes, but its treatment includes the repair of the electrical impulses located within the heart. Cardiologists at Holston Valley are experienced in providing solutions to restore your regular heartbeat using a variety of procedures.
- Map and evaluate the electrical impulses within the heart muscle to identify areas that require treatment.
- Implanting electronic pacemakers and automatic defibrillation devices through minimally invasive surgical procedures.
- Destroy anomalies in heart tissue that cause abnormally high heartbeat rates through a procedure called radio frequency ablation.
