At Arizona Arrhythmia Consultants, we care for patients having problems with their heart's rhythm and its electrical signaling. There are many different forms of arrhythmias, or abnormal heart rhythms. These include tachycardia (heart beats too fast), bradycardia (heart beats too slow), atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, Wolfe Parkinson White syndrome, ventricular tachycardia, neurocardiogenic (syncope) and other complex arrhythmias.
In our affiliated hospital’s EP laboratories, physicians of our group offer a wide range of state-of-art electrophysiology and mapping procedures to patients with suspected rhythm abnormalities.
Some heart rhythm disorders may be treated with medications, while others require the use of devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators (ICD), or electrophysiology/ablation procedures done with catheters.
We offer a variety of highly specialized approaches to heart-rhythm problems. These include:
- A full range of the newest pacemaker and cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) devices to provide individualized treatment for many irregular heart rhythms.
- Biventricular pacemakers, to improve left ventricular function, in patients with heart failure. This treatment complements medical therapy used to treat heart failure and pacemaker/ICD therapy used to treat arrhythmias associated with heart failure.
- Removal of leads from damaged and infected pacemakers or defibrillators.
- Advanced mapping and ablation therapy for atrial and ventricular tachy-arrhythmias.
- Atrial Fibrillation: We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of atrial fibrillation using the newest medications, cardioversion, and ablation (non-surgical procedure that uses energy delivered through a tiny catheter to isolate the tissue in the heart causing the arrhythmia).
- Syncope: We use a full range of diagnostic tests including the head upright tilt test, implantable heart monitors and electrophysiology studies to evaluate patients with syncope (fainting).

Our team of physicians, physician assistants, nurses and technicians are committed to and involved in clinical research focused on the cause of arrhythmias, and the development of the new tools and techniques to diagnose and treat patients with heart rhythm problems.
The excellence, experience and skill of the members of our practice, combined with true caring for our patients’ well-being, makes us the leader in the diagnosis and care of patients with abnormal heart rhythms.
