Since the Cardiac Electrophysiology Laboratory at Weill Cornell Medical Center first opened its doors in 1987, it has grown into one of the busiest and most experienced laboratories in the country. Our electrophysiologists have been recognized nationally as leaders in the field through engagement in important research. Our physicians provide cutting-edge therapies, compassionate care, and personalized treatment plans tailored to each patient's unique needs.
Arrhythmia is an abnormal or improper heartbeat, which could be rapid, slow, or irregular. Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating this condition using the most advanced equipment and techniques. With early detection and diagnosis, arrhythmias can be successfully treated. The goal of treatment is to relieve uncomfortable symptoms and prevent severe complications.
Cardiac Electrophysiology is a specialty of Cardiology concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias.
During your appointment your cardiologist will discuss the diagnostic testing or procedures and treatments available to determine the best option for you.
If you are at risk for arrhythmias (for example, if you have certain forms of heart disease), you may benefit from implantation of electronic devices (pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, or cardiac resynchronization devices) into the body to improve the function of the heart and protect against sudden cardiac problems. Other arrhythmias, like atrial fibrillation and flutter, supraventricular tachycardia, and ventricular tachycardia, can be treated with a procedure known as catheter ablation.
