Cardiac Electrophysiology

BJC HealthCare works with Washington University physicians, BJC Medical Group, and providers across the region to deliver extraordinary care. We partner with arrhythmia specialists and Washington University School of Medicine that lead patient care and research to improve diagnosis and treatment. People come to us from across the St. Louis region and surrounding states for our expertise with heart rhythm disorders.

At our hospitals you’ll find:

• Advanced training: Our team includes specialists with fellowship training and board certifications in cardiology and electrophysiology.
• Comprehensive care: Electrophysiologists (cardiologists who specialize in arrhythmias) work alongside experts in cardiology, heart surgery, interventional cardiology and other fields. You receive seamlessly coordinated care from one source.
• Pioneers in arrhythmia care: Our hospitals and physician partners are often the first to introduce new heart rhythm disorder treatments to the region. In fact, a Washington University School of Medicine surgeon developed the revolutionary Cox-Maze procedure for atrial fibrillation.
• Latest minimally invasive treatments: Missouri Baptist Medical Center was the first in the Midwest to offer a new arrhythmia treatment using advanced robotic technology. Robotic magnetic navigation is a safer, more precise alternative to traditional catheter ablation for complex, hard-to-reach heart rhythm problems.

Cardiac electrophysiology is heart care that focuses on the heart’s electrical system, which controls your heartbeat. A heart rhythm disorder means your heart is beating too fast, too slow or irregularly. Our electrophysiologists are cardiologists who specialize in diagnosing and treating arrhythmias.

Our cardiac electrophysiologists treat all types of conditions affecting your heart’s electrical system. We have experience in arrhythmias caused by underlying heart conditions such as heart valve disease, adult congenital heart disease and cardiomyopathy.
