Cardiac Electrophysiology & Arrhythmia
Through this full spectrum of activity the Cardiac Electrophysiology Service provides patients with treatment plans tailored to meet their individual needs. Two dedicated and active electrophysiology laboratories are supported by four full-time cardiac electrophysiologists, three nurse coordinators, and eight technical nurses. Patients and their families may receive educational information throughout the care continuum, including hospitalization and discharge, as well as via outpatient services.
