In fact, it's right here.

Choose a cardiac team and subspecialists who are experts in your heart’s electrical system. Powers Health’s Electrophysiology (EP) studies diagnose heart rhythm abnormalities that may need medication, further testing, or procedures such as ablation or implantation of a pacemaker or defibrillator. Community Hospital offers the new FDA-approved Medtronic Micra leadless pacemaker, which requires no incision or skin pocket to implant. Implantable cardiac defibrillator (ICD) procedures involve implanting a device to treat rapid, life-threatening heart rhythms. Procedures provided at the Electrophysiology Labs of Powers Health include:

• Cardiac Defibrillator Implantation
• Cardiac Loop Recorder Implantation and Explant
• Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (Biventricular pacemaker or defibrillator implantation)
• Cardioversions
• Catheter Ablation with 3D mapping for SVT, VT, Atrial Flutter, Atrial Fibrillation, Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
• Device Lead Extraction
• Diagnostic Electrophysiology Studies
• Event Recorders
• Pacemaker Implantation
• Tilt Table Testing
