What We Offer

Device implantation

We implant a range of devices to help manage abnormal heart rhythms. These include:

Pacemakers, which help your heartbeat at a steady pace.
Defibrillators (ICDs), which can detect and stop dangerous heart rhythms.
Cardiac Resynchronization Devices, which help both sides of your heartbeat in sync.

We also offer leadless pacemakers, a newer, smaller option placed directly in the heart without wires.

Benefits of leadless pacemakers:

Less risk of infection
No visible bump under the skin
Fewer complications from wires
Shorter recovery time

Device Removal (Explanation)

If a device or lead needs to be removed due to infection or malfunction, our specialists can safely perform this procedure.

Remote Monitoring

Many devices can send updates to your care team from home. This allows us to track your heart rhythm and device performance without frequent office visits.
