New EP lab offers curative therapy with reduced risks

University of Rochester Medical Center electrophysiology services have expanded with the introduction of a third EP laboratory featuring cutting-edge technology for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmia problems. The Stereotaxis Magnetic Navigation System allows physicians to conduct more complex procedures to treat conditions such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia with greater precision and an added measure of safety. Additionally, a new atrial fibrillation center provides ablation therapy and drug therapy, including consultation and recommendations on the use of antiarrhythmic drugs, anticoagulants, and future uses for alternatives to warfarin to reduce the risk of stroke.
