Dr. Zagrodsky uses the latest technology and treatment options at MCH Electrophysiology
to correct abnormal heart rhythms, including:
Drug therapy – You may be prescribed different medications that help your heartbeat
in a normal rhythm, control the heart rate, and prevent stroke.
Cardioversion– This is a procedure performed in the hospital which uses small,
timed electrical shocks to the heart to restore a regular rhythm.
Implantable Defibrillator or
Pacemaker – These small devices may be surgically placed under the skin to
keep track of your heart rate and deliver an electric shock if the heart
stops beating or is beating irregularly.
Radiofrequency ablation – This procedure is performed by a catheter and uses radiofrequency
energy to treat the paths causing the abnormal heart rates.
Cryoblation – This procedure is done by a catheter and involves freezing the
tissue in the heart that are causing the irregular rhythms. It can be
done in less time than radiofrequency ablation and can take away the need
for blood thinners such as Coumadin.
