Cardiac Electrophysiology

Abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias are common conditions impacting the heart’s electrical system.

At National Jewish Health, our electrophysiologists diagnose and treat arrhythmia patients from Denver and throughout Colorado. We work with our patients to determine the best treatment options, including cardiac ablation and cardiac device implantation. Our goal is to help patients and to manage their arrhythmia so they can lead full and active lives. In many cases, we are able to cure the arrhythmia so patients do not need to be on medication long term.
