Arrhythmia Management, Electrophysiology and Pacing

LA Appendage Closure

Percutaneous procedure that is used to close off the LA appendage so as to reduce the risk of stroke that comes as result of atrial fibrillation.

Lead Extraction

Removal of pacing or defibrillator leads in the body which have been infected or are malfunctioning.

Remote Monitoring

Remotely monitor patient’s cardiac device via the internet.

Leadless Pacing

For treatment of patients with slow heart beat without the use of pacing lead.

CRT ICD Implantation

For treatment of patients with heart failure associated with a widened QRS complex.

Subcutaneous ICD Implantation

For prevention of sudden cardiac death using leads which are not placed inside the heart.

ICD Implantation

For prevention of sudden cardiac death.

Pacemaker Implantation – Single and Dual Chamber

Pacemakers are needed for treatment of slow heart beat.

Catheter Ablation for Cardiac Arrhythmias

Using radiofrequency energy to ablate the abnormal focus or pathway causing the abnormal arrhythmia.

Electrophysiology Study

Invasive study using catheters to study the electrical properties of the heart. Needed before catheter ablation can be performed.

Loop Recorder Insertion

For investigation of recurrent syncope of unknown origin or detection of arrhythmias.

Electrical Cardioversion

For conversion of an arrhythmia usually atrial fibrillation back to sinus rhythm.

Flecainide Challenge Test

To diagnose Brugada syndrome.

Tilt Test

For investigation of recurrent syncope.

Signal Averaged Electrocardiogram (SA ECG)

Magnify ECG to detect "late potentials" (electrical signals) suggestive of electrical scars in heart.
