The
right treatment for heart arrhythmia depends on each patient's condition and
diagnosis. That’s why Mount Carmel offers a broad
array of procedures to treat heart rhythm disturbances.
Our highly trained physicians utilize
minimally invasive techniques like ablation and cardioversion and surgical
solutions like pacemaker and ICD implants to treat
arrhythmia.
Ablation
Mount Carmel offers two
ablation techniques. Catheter ablation is a non-surgical technique that uses
heat energy to destroy heart muscle cells responsible for an arrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation
ablation, which uses radiofrequency energy to cauterize the heart tissue around
pulmonary veins to remedy arrhythmia, is also available.
Cardioversion
Cardioversion sends
electrical energy to the heart muscle to restore normal rhythm. Our expert
physicians use this procedure to treat conditions like atrial fibrillation,
atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia.
