Forging Paths of Rhythm Restoration

• Catheter Ablation: Minimally invasive procedures that use radiofrequency energy, cryotherapy, or laser ablation to target and destroy abnormal electrical pathways or focal arrhythmogenic sources in the heart. Catheter ablation achieves rhythm control, symptom relief, and improved quality of life in patients with atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, or supraventricular tachycardia refractory to medical therapy, reducing the need for long-term antiarrhythmic medications and hospitalizations.
• Device Therapy: Implantable devices such as pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices, or leadless pacemakers that monitor cardiac rhythm, deliver pacing stimuli, or provide defibrillation shocks to terminate life-threatening arrhythmias. Device therapy restores physiological heart rate and rhythm, prevents sudden cardiac death, and improves cardiac function and exercise tolerance in patients with bradyarrhythmias, heart block, or high-risk ventricular arrhythmias.
• Hybrid Procedures: Combined surgical and catheter-based interventions performed in hybrid operating rooms or electrophysiology laboratories to address complex arrhythmias or structural heart disease. Hybrid procedures offer complementary benefits of both approaches, allowing for epicardial access, endocardial mapping, intracardiac echocardiography, and real-time navigation in challenging cases requiring concurrent ablation, valve repair, or epicardial lead placement for optimal rhythm control and substrate modification.
• Genetic Counseling: Provides genetic evaluation, risk assessment, and counseling services for patients and families affected by inherited arrhythmia syndromes, including long QT syndrome (LQTS), Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT), and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Genetic counseling facilitates informed decision-making, cascade screening, and family-based management strategies to identify at-risk individuals, prevent disease transmission, and optimize clinical outcomes in families with hereditary arrhythmia disorders.
