Professional. Personable. Experienced.
Procedures at the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute (TCAI) are performed in a state-of-the-art Electrophysiology Lab (EP Lab) at St. David’s Medical Center, named by Truven among the 100 Top Hospitals in the Nation. The electrophysiology physicians are supported by a dedicated team of nurses, technologists and tertiary staff. These cardiac professionals combine extensive knowledge of electrophysiology procedures with years of experience in the field.
During a procedure, these personnel work hand-in hand at the table side with the physician while focusing on the safety and comfort of the patient. Each staff member is able to decipher the complex pattern of electrical impulses inside the heart—expertise that allows the physician to focus on curing the patient.
With the vast array of advanced systems involved in electrophysiology, a lab can quickly fall behind the curve. The technology in the EP Labs at TCAI represents the most advanced in the world. The nurses and technologists of TCAI are among the most experienced in the world in using these advanced mapping and imaging systems.This enables TCAI to remain on the leading edge in the race to improve every facet of technology involved in electrophysiology, and has led to TCAI being one of the first to utilize almost every new technology over the last several years.
Ultimately, the quality of these professionals sets TCAI apart and allows it to remain a leader in the field of electrophysiology.
