For more information, call 719.364.6550.<\/div>\n<p>UCHealth cardiologists help thousands of patients with atrial fibrillation (Afib) and other arrhythmias using a variety of treatment options. From medication management to cardiac ablations to implanting defibrillators, our cardiac electrophysiology care team takes great pride in providing individualized, around-the-clock care for our patients and their families.<\/p>\n<p>Our facilities include a designated electrophysiology lab with staff trained in caring for these complex procedures. As a designated Comprehensive Stroke Center, we provide monitoring devices to identify atrial fibrillation over prolonged periods of time in the high risk stroke-patients. We offer lead extractions for patients with pacemakers, using lasers to remove the lead when necessary. Each of our physicians values collaborative care, and we work with valve and stroke providers to administer comprehensive, holistic care.<\/p>\n<p>We specialize in treating:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Atrial arrhythmias<\/li>\n<li>Atrial fibrillation<\/li>\n<li>Heart block<\/li>\n<li>Ventricular tachycardia<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>About atrial fibrillation<\/h3>\n<p>Atrial fibrillation (Afib) is an abnormal heartbeat that causes blood to flow poorly, which can lead to heart failure or blood clots that can cause stroke. In fact, patients with Afib are five times more likely to have a stroke. Some sobering facts:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Afib impacts nearly 5 million Americans, with a projected rise to 16 million Americans by 2050.<\/li>\n<li>Afib causes 450,000 hospital admissions per year.<\/li>\n<li>Afib is associated with a two-fold increase in mortality.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Afib program at UCHealth strives to achieve the highest level of efficacy while maintaining the safest approaches. Our team of experts is proud to set standards in cardiac care and offer our patients the most innovative treatments available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2356,"featured_media":7626,"menu_order":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-2295","uch_location","type-uch_location","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uch_location\/2295","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/uch_location"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/uch_location"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2356"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uchealth.org\/locations\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2295"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
