Cardiac Electrophysiology (Heart Rhythms Conditions)
Cardiac Electrophysiology is the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms. Our highly-trained experts provide care for patients in need of pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) with on site as well as remote-monitoring clinics. We use cutting-edge technologies to diagnose and treat abnormally fast heart rhythms.
Heart Rhythm Conditions We Treat
- Atrial fibrillation
- Atrial flutter
- Bradycardia
- Heart failure requiring device therapy
- Sudden cardiac death
- Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
- Syncope
- Ventricular tachycardia
Heart Rhythm Tests & Diagnosis
- EKG
- Genetic testing for inherited cardiac arrhythmias
- Heart monitoring
- Tilt-table testing
Treatment for Heart Rhythm Conditions
- Medication for heart rhythm disorders
- Device implantation

Electrophysiology Research
In addition to providing state-of-the-art patient care, we are also leaders in electrophysiology research. Our research is funded by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and we participate in national multicenter trials as well as UI Health-initiated studies to advance the field of cardiac electrophysiology.
