Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common heart rhythm disorder, affecting millions of Americans. Left untreated, AFib significantly increases your risk of stroke, heart failure, and other complications.
Board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist Dr. Sidney Peykar provides advanced, minimally invasive AFib treatment in Port Charlotte and Naples, Florida — helping patients across Southwest Florida regain a normal, steady heart rhythm.
AFib occurs when the upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat chaotically and irregularly, out of sync with the lower chambers. This can cause palpitations, fatigue, shortness of breath, and dizziness — and it dramatically raises the risk of blood clots and stroke.
Many patients don’t realize AFib is progressive: what starts as an occasional episode can become persistent without treatment.
Dr. Peykar offers the full spectrum of AFib care, from medication management to the most advanced catheter-based procedures.
Catheter ablation is the gold standard for restoring normal rhythm — and Dr. Peykar has performed more than 12,000 successful catheter ablation procedures.
With over 12,000 successful catheter ablations and national recognition, Dr. Peykar is one of Florida’s most experienced AFib specialists.
He is in the top 1% nationwide for Watchman™ device implantation — giving patients a proven option to reduce stroke risk without long-term anticoagulants.
Yes. Catheter ablation is a well-established, minimally invasive procedure with an excellent safety record. Dr. Peykar has performed over 12,000 successful ablations, and most patients return home the same day or the next morning.
Most patients resume light activities within a few days and normal routines within a week. We provide detailed aftercare and follow-up to ensure the best possible outcome.
Success rates depend on the type and duration of AFib, but catheter ablation restores normal rhythm in the large majority of patients — and outcomes are best in experienced hands like Dr. Peykar’s.
