Cardiac electrophysiology
Expert diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias
Treating common and unusual
heart rhythm disorders
A fast heart rate (in adults, more than 100 beats per minute) is called tachycardia. A slow heart rate (less than 60 beats per minute) is referred to as bradycardia.
In addition to treating these common conditions, our cardiac specialists use leading-edge technology to treat any form of arrhythmia that may be holding you back.
Types of arrhythmia treated:
- Atrial fibrillation (AFib).
- Atrial flutter (AFL).
- Bradycardia, heart block and sick sinus syndrome (SSS).
- Cardiac arrest due to arrhythmia.
- Inherited arrhythmia syndromes.
- Premature ventricular complexes (PVCs).
- Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
- Tachycardia.
- Ventricular fibrillation (VF).
- Ventricular tachycardia (VT).
- Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome.
As a UCHealth patient, you are unique, and you deserve a treatment approach tailored to you.
Our customized treatments:
- Ablation procedures
- Arrhythmia management
- Implantable cardioverter defibrillator
- Lead extractions
- Pacemakers
- WATCHMAN™ device
The WATCHMAN device
The WATCHMAN™ device is a permanent, one-time implant designed to keep harmful blood clots from entering your bloodstream and potentially causing a stroke.
You may be a candidate for WATCHMAN™ if:
- You have atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem (also known as non-valvular AFib).
- You are on blood-thinning medication or have been recommended by your doctor to take blood-thinning medication.
- You are looking for an alternative to long-term blood thinners.
Team treatment to help you
Our cardiac specialists and other providers will collaborate to treat your unique case with a customized plan. If you think you have an arrhythmia, see us now for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
