Only Electrophysiology Services In Mercer County
How to Contact | Hours of Operation | Research | Find a Cardiologist
Our brand new, state-of-the-art facility here at St. Francis Medical Center is the only lab in Mercer County to diagnose and treat conditions related to the heart's electrical system.
Tilt Table Test: used to evaluate and diagnose unexplained vasovagal syncope (fainting) or neuro-cardiogenic episodes.
EP Studies: performed to establish the site or origin of a tachycardia (fast heart rate) or a bradycardia (slow heart rate) and can also gather information about certain abnormal heart rhythms (arrythmias) that may require an insertion of a pacemaker or a implantable defribillator or catheter ablation.
EP With Ablation: non-surgical technique that destroys (ablates) parts of the abnormal electrical pathway that causes abnormal heart rhythm.
Pacemaker Insertion: implant in patients to regulate the heart's rhythm and prevent the heart from slowing down.
Defribillator Insertion: implant in patients to treat dangerously fast heart rates that occur in the lower chambers of the heart (ventricles).
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT): implant in patients with heart failure, to pace the lower chambers of the heart to improve your heart's normal synchrony.
