This procedure involves remotely monitoring your implantable defibrillator system, which can have single, dual, or multiple leads. Over a period of up to 90 days, the system's performance is evaluated to ensure it's working properly and providing the necessary heart rhythm support.

This is a first-time office or outpatient visit lasting between 45-59 minutes. The healthcare provider evaluates your health, discusses your medical history, and may suggest further tests or treatments. It's an opportunity to ask questions and understand your health better.

This service involves wearing a device for 8-15 days that continuously records your heart's electrical activity. It helps in identifying irregular heart rhythms. The recorded data is then reviewed and interpreted by a healthcare professional for any abnormalities.

This is a routine check-up for patients who have previously visited our clinic. It involves a comprehensive review of your health and any ongoing treatments. The consultation lasts between 30-39 minutes, allowing enough time to discuss any concerns.

Programming of a dual lead pacemaker system is a procedure to adjust your heart's pacemaker settings. This process involves a small device, called a programmer, that communicates with your pacemaker to ensure it's working optimally for your heart's needs.

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a non-invasive test that records the electrical signals in your heart. For up to 30 days, a small device will continuously monitor your heart's activity. A healthcare professional will then review the data and provide a report on your heart's function.

This procedure involves inserting a small needle into a vein, typically in your arm, to collect a blood sample. It's a quick and simple process to help diagnose or monitor health conditions. You may feel a small prick, but discomfort is minimal.

A heart rhythm review involves monitoring your heart's electrical activity for more than 48 hours up to 7 days. Using a device called an external EKG, doctors can track your heartbeats to detect irregularities and help diagnose heart conditions.

This is a procedure to treat atrial fibrillation, a condition causing irregular heartbeats. It involves a detailed heart evaluation using electrophysiology. A catheter is then used to destroy the problematic area causing the issue. Specifically, isolation of the pulmonary vein is done to regulate the heartbeat.

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) is a test that checks your heart's activity. The 2-day continuous ECG records your heart's rhythm non-stop for 48 hours. It helps to detect irregularities that may not occur during a shorter test. A healthcare professional will review the results to identify any issues.

This service involves an initial office or outpatient visit for a new patient. The healthcare professional will spend 30-44 minutes understanding your health history, current issues, and discussing possible treatment plans. It's a comprehensive evaluation to start your healthcare journey.

A permanent leadless pacemaker is a small device placed in the heart to regulate its rhythm. Using imaging guidance, the pacemaker is inserted through a vein in the leg, traveling up to the heart. It's a less invasive procedure than traditional pacemaker implantation.
