Heart Rhythm Disorder (Arrhythmias) Treatments
Using the skilled application of selected therapies, the state-of-the-art UW Health electrophysiology program in Madison, Wisconsin, strives to obtain the best possible outcomes in a broad range of potentially disabling or even lethal cardiac arrhythmias.
Offering inpatient and outpatient diagnosis and treatment, UW Health Heart and Vascular Care electrophysiologists carefully define each patient's arrhythmic problem, selecting the most appropriate therapy from a broad list of options.
Electrophysiology procedures are performed in a newly renovated, dedicated electrophysiology laboratory. A full range of heart tests and treatments are offered in our electrophysiology program, including:
Diagnostic Tests
Treatments, Therapies and Devices
- Ablation
- Cardioversion
- Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) for treating ventricular tachyarrhythmias (heartbeats that are too fast)
- Pacemakers for treating bradyarrhythmias (heartbeats that are too slow)
- Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy
UW Health's electrophysiology program actively participates in researching new devices, new lead systems or new indications for the use of ICDs and pacemakers.
