A globally respected leader in the diagnosis, treatment, and research of heart rhythm conditions, the Montefiore Einstein Arrhythmia and Electrophysiology Program is one of the highest-volume centers in the country for the treatment of complex cardiac arrhythmia. Our team of world-renowned cardiac electrophysiologists provide early detection and treatment for a vast spectrum of conditions relating to cardiac arrhythmia. Our program is also a leading educational facility for medical fellows, and we take pride in training the next generation of visionary electrophysiologists. We’re ranked in the top 1% of all hospitals in the nation for Cardiology, Heart & Vascular Surgery according to U.S. News & World Report.

Tratamientos avanzados

Conocido por su rigurosa excelencia e innovación revolucionaria, el Programa de Arritmias y Electrofisiología ha sido pionero en avances revolucionarios en el campo, habiendo implantado el primer marcapasos cardíaco transvenoso y realizado la segunda implantación de un desfibrilador permanente en la historia de EE. UU. También somos uno de los pocos centros en el mundo que trata la fibrilación auricular persistente con objetivos de ablación especializados y que realiza una ablación completa con catéter sin fluoroscopia (sin rayos X) para todas las arritmias, eliminando la exposición a la radiación ionizante. Nuestro centro sirve como centro de referencia internacional para procedimientos críticos, incluyendo la ablación con catéter y la implantación de dispositivos cardíacos. También estamos realizando ensayos clínicos multicéntricos, aleatorizados y controlados en fibrilación auricular y taquicardia ventricular en todo el mundo. Trabajamos con todas las fuentes de energía disponibles para la ablación, como la radiofrecuencia y la crioenergía, y somos un centro de ensayos clínicos IDE FDA para fuentes de energía más nuevas como la Ablación de Campo Pulsado (PFA).

Our state-of-the-art treatments include:

  • Catheter Ablation of Arrhythmias (Radiofrequency, Cryoenergy and Pulsed Field Ablation–PFA)
    • Fibrilación auricular
    • Atrial Flutter
    • Taquicardia ventricular
    • Ventricular Fibrillation
    • Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
    • Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVC)
  • Left Atrial Appendage Closure Devices
    • WATCHMAN™ Device and Technique
    • LARIAT Suture Delivery Service®
    • Amulet
  • Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT)
  • Pacemaker Implantation
  • Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implantation
  • Physiologic Cardiac Pacing
  • Fluoroless Procedures
  • Laser Lead Extraction
  • Myocardial Strain Imaging
  • Cardiac Autonomic Medication
  • More Advanced Treatments
    • Implantable Loop Recorder (ILR)
    • Electrical Cardioversion
    • Tilt Table Testing
    • Arrhythmia Monitoring (including coronary and peripheral angiography, echocardiography, right heart catheterization and hemodynamics)

Notable Innovations

The Program’s robust research efforts have resulted in pioneering therapies and breakthrough treatments, many of which are only available at Montefiore Einstein.

  • Es uno de los pocos programas en el mundo para tratar pacientes con fibrilación auricular crónica
  • One of the few programs in the world accepting patients with recurrent atrial fibrillation for redo- ablation, despite multiple prior ablations. 
  • Desarrolló la técnica de homogeneización de cicatrices, un tratamiento revolucionario para la taquicardia ventricular.
  • Complete fluoroless (without X-ray) catheter ablation for all arrhythmias.
  • One of the few programs in the world performing catheter ablations of atrial fibrillation in patients with heart failure and implanted cardiac devices.
  • One of only five programs in New York State to perform endocardial-epicardial ventricular tachycardia ablation.
  • One of only five programs in the country to perform bilateral cervico-thoracic sympathectomy.
  • The only program of its kind in the Northeastern U.S. to perform autonomic modulation for the treatment of life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias.
  • Pioneered left atrial appendage electrical isolation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation.
  • Developed comprehensive left atrial appendage closure device program.
  • Desarrolló nuevos enfoques para la terapia de resincronización cardiaca en la estimulación del haz de His (HBP) y la estimulación en el área de la rama izquierda (LBBP).
  • Ongoing development of innovative techniques for esophageal protection during catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation.
