Cardiac ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that corrects the abnormal electrical pathways causing heart rhythm disorders — often eliminating the need for lifelong medication.
Dr. Sidney Peykar, board-certified cardiac electrophysiologist, has performed more than 12,000 successful catheter ablations and is a regional leader in complex arrhythmia treatment.
Ablation is highly effective for a wide range of heart rhythm disorders. Dr. Peykar uses advanced 3D mapping to pinpoint the exact source of the arrhythmia before treating it.
Every heart is different, so Dr. Peykar tailors the technique to your specific arrhythmia and anatomy.
Cardiac ablation is performed in a specialized electrophysiology lab. Most patients are sedated and comfortable throughout the procedure, which typically takes one to three hours.
You’ll be monitored briefly afterward and usually go home the same day or the next morning. Most patients return to normal activities within a week.
Most patients with symptomatic arrhythmias — especially those who don’t respond well to medication or want to avoid long-term drugs — are candidates. Dr. Peykar will evaluate your specific condition during a consultation.
Most ablation procedures take one to three hours, depending on the arrhythmia. You’ll typically go home the same day or the following morning.
Many patients are able to reduce or stop rhythm-control medications after a successful ablation. Dr. Peykar will create a personalized plan for your follow-up care.
More than 12,000 successful catheter ablation procedures — making him one of the most experienced electrophysiologists in Florida.
