Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Heart Rhythm Center – Audubon provides comprehensive care for patients with irregular heartbeats such as atrial fibrillation (A-fib) and other arrhythmias. Norton Heart & Vascular Institute board-certified and fellowship-trained electrophysiologists have at least 10 years of medical training and, collectively, more than 100 years of experience.
The Heart Rhythm Center is also home to our Atrial Fibrillation Clinic. With the right treatment, this common and complex condition can be managed successfully to help prevent complications.
What makes this device unique is its size, absence of leads that connect the device to a controller and ability to implant it with a minimally invasive procedure.
A-fib can cause blood to collect in the upper chambers of the heart and form clots that can get into the bloodstream and cause a stroke and other complications.
A-fib accounts for 15% of all strokes in the United States, according to the American Heart Association, and is especially prevalent among those in Kentucky and Indiana.
The A-fib Clinic was established to provide specialized care for the condition and reduce the risk of stroke and other complications while keeping you out of the hospital.
Our electrophysiologists use a full suite of the latest in technology and devices to diagnose and monitor your atrial fibrillation or other heart rhythm condition. These include:
Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Heart Rhythm Centers include a nurse educator who helps patients understand their condition and connects them with additional resources. The device-monitoring team provides around-the-clock digital monitoring to detect arrhythmias.
Patients with permanent pacemakers and implantable defibrillators can have their devices checked and adjusted at a Norton Heart & Vascular Institute Heart Rhythm Center.
