About the electrophysiology lab

MedStar Washington Hospital Center opened the area's first Cardiac Arrhythmia Center in 1985 and since then has remained in the forefront of new techniques to evaluate and manage patients with a wide variety of arrhythmias. A recent major renovation and expansion has created an eight-laboratory EP suite. It features state-of-the-art equipment and technology as well as a dedicated EP patient care suite that is unique and unrivaled in the region. Together with the adjoining outpatient Cardiac Arrhythmia Center, this facility is a fully integrated arrhythmia care center for patients.

Their clinical scope of work encompasses all areas of arrhythmia management, including:

  • Pacemakers
  • Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs)
  • Biventricular pacing
  • All types of ablation, including ablation for:
    • Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT)
    • Ventricular tachycardia
    • Atrial fibrillation
