Atrial Fibrillation

Founded in 2006, the Cardiovascular Center's Atrial Fibrillation Program refines and defines management of this disease by using ablation to cure it. Averaging 15 patients a week, 60 percent of who come from out of the state, the success rate is more than 90 percent. That means within three months of ablation, patients are cured of the arrhythmia and off medication.

As a patient, you will receive care from some of the world's leading specialists, as many of our physicians have participated in the research and development of the newest treatments, including the latest in cardiac ablation.

We offer access to the most advanced techniques and technology, giving patients a complete range of treatment and drug options for atrial fibrillation.
