Procedures

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT)

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) involves a pacemaker or implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) in order to maintain the heart’s rhythm. Dr. Rassadi offers cardiac resynchronization therapy for those with an irregular heartbeat that may be at risk for complications.

Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD)​

An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is a device used to detect dangerous heart arrhythmias, as well as deliver a shock to the heart in order to regulate the heartbeat. Dr. Rassadi might suggest an ICD to prevent serious cardiac complications related to a heart arrhythmia.

Cryoablation

Cryoablation is a cardiac ablation technique that uses intense cooling energy to freeze and destroy abnormal heart tissue. This helps Dr. Rassadi treat patients with an arrhythmia, or irregular heartbeat.

Electrophysiological Study (EPS)

An electrophysiological study (EPS) is a minimally invasive diagnostic procedure to study the electrical activity of the heart. This helps Dr. Rassadi determine which areas are responsible for causing an irregular heartbeat.

Pacemaker Implantation

A pacemaker is a small electronic device that is used to regulate electrical impulses in the heart. Dr. Rassadi offers treatment with a pacemaker to help control an irregular heartbeat and prevent complications like heart failure.

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA)

Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a procedure to help manage arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats, by destroying abnormal tissue in the heart. Dr. Rassadi may recommend radiofrequency ablation after an ECG has detected an irregular heartbeat.

Watchman Device Implantation

The WATCHMAN device is a permanent heart implant, about the size of a quarter, that can effectively reduce the risk of a stroke. Dr. Rassadi offers the WATCHMAN device as an alternative to life-long medication use.
