Electrophysiology

Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula’s Tyler Heart Institute has brought advanced technology to its electrophysiology lab, the place where atrial fibrillation and other abnormal heartbeats, or arrhythmia, are treated.

Electrophysiology procedures

Complex ablations to destroy cells causing irregular heartbeat

• Atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter
• Supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia, premature ventricular contractions, including epicardial foci

Device implants

• Cardiac resynchronization therapy, implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, permanent pacemaker
• Leadless pacemaker — Micra^® device
• Left atrial appendage closure with Watchman^® device, to reduce risk of stroke and use of blood thinners
