Our practice specializes in the area of Cardiac Electrophysiology, which includes the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms. We are dedicated to the prevention of life threatening arrhythmias such as Sudden Cardiac Death. We are able to treat, and in many cases, cure heart rhythm disturbances, such as Atrial Fibrillation, that can cause symptoms ranging from palpitations to fainting spells and even death. All of our physicians are Board Certified in Cardiac Electrophysiology and fully qualified to implant cardiac devices such as Implantable Defibrillators (ICDs) and pacemakers.

We are the only group in Connecticut to have the Stereotaxis system with Carto RMT technology. Using powerful magnetic fields guided by a sophisticated three dimensional computerized mapping system, this technology allows us to treat more complex arrhythmias with greater precision and safety. Call us for more information about this exciting new technology available only through Arrhythmia Consultants of Connecticut.
