North Cascade Cardiology

Cardiac Rhythm Management Program

Cardiac rhythm management is a growing specialty of cardiology that involves heart rhythm disorders.  Any disturbance in the normal beating pattern of the heart is called an arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat. Electrophysiology is the branch of cardiology that involves the study and treatment of the electrical conduction system and disturbances of the heart.
North Cascade Cardiology's EP team sees patients with a wide range of heart complaints from people with palpitations and dizzy spells, to patients who have survived an episode of sudden cardiac death.
