    Electrophysiology

    Electrophysiology care that helps you feel steady again.

    Make an appointment 800-834-7804

    If your heart feels like it’s racing, fluttering or skipping beats, it can be unsettling. And sometimes scary. You may wonder if it’s something minor or a sign of a more serious issue.

    At Genesis, we help you understand what’s happening and guide you toward the right treatment so you can feel confident in your heart health.

    Shaun Bhatty, M.D., Discusses Atrial Fibrillation

    When something doesn’t feel right

    Heart rhythm issues (called arrhythmias) can happen in otherwise healthy hearts. In some cases, they’re harmless. In others, they may increase your risk for more serious conditions like heart disease or stroke.

    That uncertainty can make it hard to know what to do next. That’s where specialized testing and expert care make a difference.

    Getting clear answers

    We use advanced testing, including electrophysiology (EP) studies, to understand exactly what’s causing your symptoms. This allows us to identify the type and severity of your heart rhythm issue and recommend the most effective path forward.

    Conditions we commonly treat

    One of the most common rhythm conditions is atrial fibrillation (A-Fib), where the upper chambers of your heart beat out of sync. This can lead to symptoms like:

    • Irregular or rapid heartbeat

    • Fatigue or weakness

    • Shortness of breath

    • Lightheadedness

    You don’t have to manage these symptoms on your own.

    Treatment options designed around you

    Your care plan is built around your specific condition, lifestyle and goals. Depending on your needs, treatment may include:

    • Medications to regulate your heart rhythm

    • Devices that help maintain a steady heartbeat

    • Minimally invasive procedures, such as catheter ablation

    Our team will walk you through each option so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

    Feel more in control of your heart health

    When you understand what’s happening and have a clear plan, you can move forward with greater peace of mind. Our goal is to help you feel better, reduce your risks and get back to living your life without constant worry about your heart.

    Conditions we treat

    The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) and is the result of the top portion or atria of the heart beating out of rhythm. An electrophysiology (EP) study is used to diagnosis the type and severity of arrhythmias.

    We treat a variety of conditions for patients including:

    • Arrhythmias

    • Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)

    • Bradycardia

    • Long QT syndrome

    • Sudden cardiac arrest

    • Supraventricular tachycardia

    • Tachycardia

    • Ventricular fibrillation

    • Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome

    Treatments and procedures

    Treatment can involve many different therapies from medications, to devices to control your heart beat, to catheter based procedures called ablations. Genesis treatments, procedures and device implantations include:

    • Biventricular devices

    • Cardiac device monitoring · Catheter ablation for Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)

    • Catheter ablation for fast heart rate (Tachycardia)

    • Defibrillators

    • Device implants

    • Electrical cardioversion for fast heart rate (Fibrillation)

    • Electrical cardioversion for Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)

    • Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD)

    • Laboratory tests

    • Lead extractions

    • Left atrial appendage closure

    • Medication adjustments

    • Pacemaker for Bradycardia (slow heartbeat)

    • Pacemaker for heart failure

    Structural Heart

    Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

    Structural Heart

    When you need advanced care for complex heart conditions, you want a team you can trust. The Structural Heart Program at Genesis is led by fellowship-trained physicians who are recognized for their expertise. Our team brings years of specialized training and experience with the latest procedures and technologies, so you receive high-quality care close to home in Southeastern Ohio.

    Make an appointment 800-834-7804

    Conditions we treat

    Structural heart disease may be present at birth, or it can develop later in life. We use life-changing treatments to repair damaged heart valves, walls, muscle or tissue. Addressing structural heart issues can reduce symptoms such as weakness and shortness of breath, which not only can improve your quality of life, but also help prolong it.

    We treat a variety of conditions for patients including:

    • Aortic stenosis - Is the stiffening or narrowing of the aortic valve. Calcium build up is the most common cause. Aortic stenosis usually affects elderly patients with other medical risk factors which makes them better candidates for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR).
    • Mitral valve regurgitation - Is a condition in which the heart's mitral valve doesn't close tightly, which allows blood to flow backward in the heart.
    • Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) - Occurs when patients are diagnosed with an opening, or hole, in the heart that did not close after birth. This birth defect can cause problems later in life, including stroke, and affect the control of blood flow between heart chambers.

     

     

    Treatments and procedures

    Genesis is the only hospital in the region performing innovative and minimally-invasive procedures for cardiac care. These new technologies and techniques allow our highly-skilled physicians to care for your heart while reducing downtime, scarring and pain after a procedure:

    • MitraClip™ - Is a minimally invasive procedure that can reduce the risk of heart failure and stroke for patients with mitral valve regurgitation. Our physicians use a tube to insert the MitraClip implant through a vein in your upper leg and guide it to your heart, where it is attached to your mitral valve to help it close properly and restore normal blood flow.
    • Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure - The procedure to close a hole in the heart, not detected at birth, takes a much different route than in the past when open-heart surgery was required to correct the opening. Our physicians use a catheter to enter blood vessels to reach the heart. Once there, the catheter guides a device called an occluder to the opening, allowing it to expand and close the hole.
    • Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) - Uses advanced imaging and small catheters to replace diseased heart valves. Instead of a large incision to the chest, physicians performing TAVR use a flexible tube to guide a new valve through a blood vessel to the heart. TAVR is minimally invasive, meaning patients have less pain and experience faster recovery times – usually needing just an overnight stay in the hospital.
    • Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement (MVR)
    • Left Atrial Appendage Closure - This implant can reduce the risk of stroke and eliminate blood thinners for patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib) not caused by a heart valve problem. During a one-time, minimally invasive procedure, WATCHMAN is inserted through a small tube from a blood vessel in the leg to the heart where it closes the left atrial appendage. Patients typically return home the next day and may be able to stop blood thinners in 6 months.

      Cardiac Rehabilitation Program

      Recovering from a heart event can feel overwhelming, and that is why we are here. The Genesis Heart and Vascular Rehab Program combines exercise, education and support to help you regain your physical, emotional and work-related well-being.

      Make an appointment 800-834-7804

      Our Phase II program offers a safe and structured path to recovery after a heart attack, open-heart surgery or balloon angioplasty. We also focus on helping you lower your risk of future heart problems.

      In addition, we offer a range of healthy lifestyle programs for patients, community members and anyone interested in becoming more active. With the right guidance and encouragement, you can take positive steps toward a healthier life.

      Ask for a Referral

      Ask your doctor to refer you to heart and vascular rehabilitation, a program that starts with a two-hour orientation held on Tuesdays and Thursdays. For more information, call 740-454-4336 or 800-322-4762, ext. 4336.

      Innovative options for cardiac rehab

        Exercise

        A personalized exercise program is created for each patient. Patients exercise under the watchful eye of staff with ECG and blood pressure monitoring when they first enter the program.

        As strength, endurance and range of motion improve, patients will continue to progress toward maintenance exercise. We offer internal exercise programs and external community facilities with exercise physiologists who continue to work with you and monitor your progress.

        Early admission programming

        Research from the American College of Cardiology and Hospital to Home (H2H) suggests early admission to cardiac rehab helps reduce unnecessary hospital readmissions and improve transitions of care.

        See You In Seven (SY7)

        The goal of SY7 is for all patients discharged with a heart attack or stent to start cardiac rehab within 7 days of discharge. When SY7 patients come into the program, they will be on a restricted exercise prescription for the first week to allow ample healing time, and then they will transition into normal progression.

        See You In Fourteen (SY14)

        The goal of SY14 is for all patients discharged following open heart surgery to start cardiac rehab within 14 days of discharge. When SY14 patients come into the program, they will be on a restricted exercise prescription for the first two weeks to allow ample healing time, and then they will transition into normal progression.

        Graduated ECG monitoring

        Genesis Heart & Vascular Rehab’s goal is to make you healthier and help you develop lifelong exercise routines. That’s why if you are eligible, you can “graduate” to non-ECG monitored sessions with our clinical staff. Our graduated ECG monitoring program allows you to learn how your body reacts to exercise, teaches signs and symptoms to watch for and boosts your confidence to continue a lifelong exercise program.

        Education

        Understanding heart disorders, the causes and the effects, is the focus of heart and vascular rehab education. Dietitians, pharmacists, exercise physiologists, behavioral health counselors and registered nurses help patients understand heart disease, its risk factors and what patients can do to change their risks.

        Encouragement and support

        Another goal of our heart and vascular rehab program is to reduce stress, anxiety and depression.

        Insurance coverage

        Heart and vascular rehab is partially covered by Medicare if you've had a heart attack, open-heart surgery, valve repair or replacement, stable angina, balloon angioplasty or heart transplant. Most commercial insurances cover cardiac rehab, but we strongly recommend you call your insurance company to determine your coverage and co-pay.

        We also have experts who can help verify your insurance coverage and any co-pays prior to beginning the cardiac rehab program.

        A physician referral is required for admission to the program.

            • Transcarotid artery revascularization (TCAR) - is a less-invasive method for reducing the risk of stroke and complications while treating carotid artery disease in one or both neck arteries. During the procedure, a small incision is made in the neck. A tube is inserted into the carotid artery and connected to equipment to direct blood flow away from the brain temporarily. The blood is filtered before returning to a vein in the groin. In addition to fewer risks during the TCAR procedure, a smaller incision is used to reduce scarring and procedure time is less than half compared to carotid endarterectomy. Most patients return home the day after the procedure. Learn more by watching a video where Dr. Kunstmann talks about the procedure.

              Heart attack

              Our specialists are experienced in both Sudden Cardiac Arrest, when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating, as well as Myocardial Infarction, which occurs when the blood flow to a certain part of the heart is blocked.

              12-lead EKG saves lives

              Before you arrive at our Emergency Department (ED) by ambulance, our ED doctors and cardiac team already have a plan to stop your heart attack. That’s because Genesis Hospital, Genesis Community Ambulance and the local EMS community have partnered to equip Emergency Medical Services (EMS) vehicles with 12-lead EKG monitors so they can determine if you are having a heart attack before arriving at the hospital. This lead time enables the hospital’s heart team to be ready to intervene as soon as you arrive. They can literally stop a heart attack in its tracks.

              Heart risk

              We can help you manage conditions that can lead to serious heart problems. These include high cholesterol, diabetes, high blood pressure and Metabolic Syndrome, which is a group of health problems that include excess fat around the waist, elevated blood pressure and blood sugar, high triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol.

              Heart failure

              When your heart is unable to properly pump the blood your body needs, you are suffering from heart failure. Our specialists will help you manage and treat your condition with lifestyle changes, medicines and when necessary, pacemakers and defibrillators.

              Irregular heartbeat

              There are many types of arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats) that range from minor to life-threatening. Our team of electrophysiologists will evaluate the severity of your irregular heartbeat and recommend appropriate treatments based on your individual need.

              Peripheral artery and vein disease

              This narrowing or blockage of the arteries or veins in your legs, arms or torso is caused by plaque buildup. From evaluation and diagnosis through lifestyle changes and treatments, which may include drug therapy or a minimally invasive procedure, our general and interventional cardiologists will provide guidance to help you minimize the effects of these conditions.
