Electrophysiology and Pacing
TriStar Centennial Heart & Vascular Center offers a variety of highly specialized treatment approaches for patients having difficulty with their heart’s rhythm and electrical signaling. Heart rhythm disorders can be treated with medications or with a wide range of electrophysiology, mapping, and ablation procedures as well as devices, such as a pacemaker or defibrillator (ICD). We treat many different forms of arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats, using surgical techniques, like Pulmonary Vein Isolation (PVI), for:
- Atrial fibrillation (AFIB) (the most common heart rhythm disorder)
- Atrial flutter
- Tachycardia (heart beats too fast)
- Bradycardia (heart beats too slow)
- Supraventricular tachycardia
- Wolfe Parkinson White syndrome
- Ventricular tachycardia
- Neurogenic disorders such as syncope
- Other complex arrhythmias

Atrial Fibrillation
June 1, 2012
Atrial fibrillation is an abnormal heart rhythm. The heart's electrical system normally sends regularly spaced signals. These signals tell the heart muscle to contract or beat. The heart has two upper chambers called atria. It also has two lower chambers called ventricles. Each signal starts in the ...

Maze is a surgical procedure of the heart. A maze-like pattern of scars is made in the upper chambers of the heart. The chambers are called the atria. A traditional maze surgery requires the chest to be opened and the heart to be stopped. A mini-maze is done with small incisions and special surgica ...

Atrial Flutter

The heart has four chambers. It has two upper chambers (atria) and two lower chambers (ventricles). Electrical signals regulate the heart beat. The signals also help the atria and ventricles work together in the same rhythm. The blood from the atria is pushed into the ventricles and leave the heart ...
