To meet the needs of our community, Munroe Heart has added cardiac electrophysiology (EP), which focuses solely on the electrical system of the heart. Munroe’s state of the art EP lab will serve patients with complex cardiac rhythm disturbances (rapid heartbeats), including atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia ablations. These procedures will be performed with the latest 3-D mapping technology.
Now, patients who have heart rhythm problems, and who have previously had to travel distances for their care, now have access to Marion County’s first EP program and the nationally recognized expertise of Munroe Heart.
