AHS Arrhythmia Center

The AHS Arrhythmia Center provides comprehensive diagnosis and management of cardiac rhythm disorders. From atrial fibrillation to complex ventricular arrhythmias, our team delivers expert rhythm care with state-of-the-art monitoring and therapy.

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) — Complete Care Program

Atrial fibrillation is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting more than 6 million Americans and representing a leading cause of stroke. Our AFib program offers a structured, evidence-based approach to rate control, rhythm control, anticoagulation, and stroke prevention.

  • AFib diagnosis: 12-lead ECG, Holter monitor, event recorder, implantable loop recorder
  • Rate control therapy: beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, digoxin
  • Rhythm control: antiarrhythmic drug initiation and monitoring
  • Electrical cardioversion (DCCV) — elective and urgent
  • Anticoagulation management: warfarin with INR monitoring, direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs)
  • Stroke risk assessment: CHA₂DS₂-VASc scoring
  • Bleeding risk assessment: HAS-BLED scoring
  • Ablation evaluation and referral for symptomatic or drug-refractory AFib
  • Left atrial appendage occlusion (Watchman device) referral

Other Arrhythmia Conditions Managed

  • Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
  • Ventricular tachycardia (VT) — risk stratification and management
  • Bradycardia — evaluation for pacemaker need
  • Sick sinus syndrome and AV node disease
  • Syncope workup — tilt table, event monitors, loop recorders
  • Palpitation evaluation — comprehensive rhythm monitoring
  • Premature atrial and ventricular contractions (PACs/PVCs)
  • Long QT syndrome and inherited channelopathies

Device Therapy (Cardiac Implantable Electronic Devices)

  • Pacemaker evaluation and implantation referral (single, dual, biventricular)
  • ICD (implantable cardioverter-defibrillator) indications and referral
  • CRT-D (cardiac resynchronization therapy) for heart failure with arrhythmia
  • Existing device interrogation, reprogramming, and follow-up
  • Remote device monitoring via cardiac device clinics
