FAQ

  • Yes, arrhythmias that are infrequent and cause no symptoms typically don’t require treatment.

  • 3D mapping is an advanced technique that uses electromagnetic fields to create a detailed map of an arrhythmia. This is revolutionizing the treatment of complex arrhythmias like AFib (Atrial Fibrillation) and VT (Ventricular Tachycardia.

  • Cardiovascular Implantable Electronic Devices (CIEDs) include:

  • Pacemakers: battery-operated small devices that regulate/treat slow heart rhythms by sending electrical signals to the heart.

  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs): small battery-operated devices that deliver electrical pulses or shocks to control life-threatening arrhythmias and prevent sudden cardiac death.

  • Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT): specialized pacemakers that send electrical signals to both lower heart chambers (ventricles) to beat them in sync, and are usually used in patients with heart failure.
