Electrophysiology and Interventional Cardiology
Our electrophysiology and interventional cardiology laboratories perform diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for patients with coronary disease, congestive heart failure, valve disease, congenital heart defects, cardiomyopathy and peripheral vascular disease.
Electrophysiology
The EP team at Temple is dedicated to reducing long-term risk for patients with heart failure and other causes of sudden death by providing the highest quality treatment for heart rhythm abnormalities and palpitations.
Our fully equipped lab allows us to treat the full spectrum of EP patients. Temple is consistently at the forefront of technology and treatment, implanting the newest versions of pacemakers and defibrillators and using new atrial ablation techniques to cure atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. These include atrial fibrillation and flutter, and corrections of abnormal conduction that induces palpitations and arrhythmias due to scarring from previous heart attacks.
We evaluate and treat all types of rhythm disorders, including:
- Extra systoles
- PACs
- PVCs
- Atrial Flutter and atrial tachycardia
- Ventricular and superventricular tachycardia
- Heart block and other bradyarrhythmias
Studies and procedures we perform include:
- Diagnostic EP tests
- Tilt table testing
- Catheter ablations for atrial and ventricular arrhythmias
- Implants of various devices including ICDs with or without cardiac resynchronization and traditional pacemakers
- Cardioversions
Interventional Cardiology
On a routine basis, we perform high-risk interventions on heart failure patients who have often been turned away by other institutions. We also have expertise in caring for, managing and performing procedures on lung, heart and other transplant recipients in collaboration with our transplant and LVRS programs.
We perform the full spectrum of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for coronary disease treatments with outcomes that meet or exceed national standards. These include:
- Coronary angiography
- Right/left heart catheterizations
- Coronary interventions including coronary stents (drug eluting and bare metal)
- Intravascular ultrasound
- Septal Closure
We also perform the full spectrum of vascular therapeutic procedures, including:
- Peripheral angiography and Intervention of:
- Lower extremity arteries
- Renal arteries
- Mesenteric arteries
- Carotid arteries (with embolic protection)
