Expert Heart & Vascular Care

Getting the care you need starts with seeing one of our heart or vascular specialists.

Ablation is an option to treat atrial fibrillation (AFib). We may use this procedure if other treatments aren’t enough to improve your symptoms.

The doctors in our Electrophysiology Program are national leaders in the use of cryoablation, or cold therapy, for treating atrial fibrillation. This option can be less painful for patients and is less likely to affect healthy heart tissue. Our expertise with arrhythmia management allows us to treat even the most challenging cases that may not have responded to other approaches.

What atrial fibrillation ablation options are available?

We offer several types of atrial fibrillation ablation, including:

Electrophysiology Program

We are leaders in developing and using the latest procedures and technologies to treat heart rhythm disorders, and our cardiac electrophysiology laboratory is one of the most sophisticated in North America.

Conditions

Sick Sinus Syndrome

Sick sinus syndrome is a malfunction of the heart’s sinus node, which controls heart rhythms. This causes the heart to beat too quickly or too slowly or leads to long pauses between heartbeats.

Tachycardia-Bradycardia Syndrome

Tachy-brady syndrome is a type of irregular heartbeat in which the heart fluctuates between beating too quickly and too slowly.

Tests

Echocardiogram

An echocardiogram uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of your heart.

Electrocardiogram (ECG)

An electrocardiogram, also known as an ECG, measures the heart’s electrical activity.

Stress Tests

Stress tests are used to assess how your heart works during physical activity. There are several types of stress tests, including treadmill or bike stress tests, nuclear stress tests, stress echocardiograms and chemically induced stress tests.
