Leaders in heart rhythm care
We're proud of our many contributions to heart arrythmia care in the Chattanooga area, including being the first to implant both an MRI-compatible cardiac defibrillator and a left atrial appendage closure device. Additionally, we were the first to perform the convergent procedure in our community, which is the leading surgical approach for AFib.
Electrophysiology study
Arrhythmias can be life-threatening if not detected early, leading to serious complications such as blood clots and stroke. We offer many heart screening and imaging tests to diagnose arrhythmia, including electrophysiology (EP) studies. During an EP study, we track and record the electrical activity in your heart with the help of diagnostic catheters that are threaded through your veins into your heart.

Dedicated to giving our community access to better solutions and improved outcomes, our arrythmia specialists continue to stay at the forefront of cardiac arrythmia treatment by using the latest techniques and technology. This includes catheter-based and image-guided minimally invasive procedures that are performed in our state-of-the-art electrophysiology labs. Our areas of specialty include:
