Cardiac Device Implantation at Texas Electrophysiology Associates
At Texas Electrophysiology Associates, we specialize in the implantation of state-of-the-art cardiac devices, including pacemakers, implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) devices. These devices are vital for patients with heart rhythm disorders, providing critical support to maintain a stable heart rhythm and enhance quality of life.
Types of Cardiac Devices
Pacemakers: These devices help manage slow heart rhythms by sending electrical impulses to prompt the heart to beat at a normal rate.
Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators (ICD): ICDs monitor heart rhythms and deliver shocks if a life-threatening heart rhythm is detected, helping to prevent sudden cardiac arrest.
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT) Devices: CRT devices are used to treat heart failure by coordinating the timing of the upper heart chambers (atria) and the lower chambers (ventricles).
Why Choose Texas Electrophysiology Associates for Device Implantation?
Expertise: Our electrophysiologists are nationally recognized for their skills in device implantation and management.
Personalized Care: We assess each patient’s specific needs to determine the most appropriate device and customization of treatment.
Comprehensive Support: From initial consultation through implantation and ongoing monitoring, our team ensures that every patient receives the highest standard of care.
What to Expect During and After the Procedure
Cardiac device implantation is performed under local anesthesia with sedation, ensuring comfort throughout the procedure. The process typically takes about an hour, and most patients are discharged the same day or the following day. After implantation, we provide detailed instructions for care during recovery and schedule follow-up appointments to monitor the device's function and adjust settings as necessary.
