• Expertise in treating the most complex cases of ventricular tachycardia, including those deemed untreatable at other centers
• Access to the most advanced imaging technologies, including cardiac ultrasound (echocardiography), cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), cardiac PET-CT, electrocardiogram, Holter monitor, and an innovative mapping system, used to increase the accuracy of ablations; these technologies translate to more accurate diagnoses for patients
• Coordinated care from the No. 7 best hospital for cardiology & heart surgery in the country, as ranked by U.S. News & World Report

We are one of only three centers in the U.S. using needle catheter ablations, to reach within the thickness of the heart wall. We also offer stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) for some patients with ventricular tachycardia, as well as ablations without fluoroscopy (radiation).
• Expert care delivered by a team of surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses who specialize in treating patients with ventricular tachycardia and who are continually working to advance patient care
• Our team of cardiac specialists offer Virtual Visits to consult with you while you stay at home. Whether for an initial consult, second opinion, pre-op or follow-up care, we will keep you connected to your care and on track with your treatment plan.
