Electrophysiology & Heart Rhythm Program
Each type of arrhythmia requires a unique, individualized approach for successful diagnosis and management. We evaluate and treat a full range of heart rhythm disorders and heart conditions, including congenital heart disease, in both children and adults.
Some disorders have no symptoms but can be discovered during a routine exam. If left undiagnosed and untreated, certain types of arrhythmias can lead to serious symptoms including heart enlargement and heart failure. Phoenix Children’s Electrophysiology & Heart Rhythm Program offers a wide range of advanced treatment options, including pacemaker and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) placement and follow up.
Arrhythmias that cause an abnormally fast heart rate (tachycardia), include:
- Atrial Fibrillation
- Atrial Flutter
- Ectopic Atrial Tachycardia
- Junctional Ectopic Tachycardia
- Permanent Junctional Reciprocating Tachycardia
- Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
- Torsades de Pointes
- Ventricular Fibrillation
- Ventricular Tachycardia
- Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW)
Arrhythmias that lead to a slower than normal heart rate (bradycardia), include:
- Cardiac Infiltrative Diseases
- Congenital Heart Block
- Diffuse Conduction System Disease
- Frequent Atrial Premature Beats
- Sick Sinus Syndrome
- Surgical Heart Block
