    EPs for success.
    Close collaboration between the treating cardiologist and an electrophysiologist is a model approach to providing effective treatment of patients with atrial fibrillation (AFib). And while electrophysiologists are experts in arrhythmia management, not all EPs are experts in catheter ablation.

    The percentage of my patients that return to sinus rhythm with antiarrhythmic therapy alone is fairly small. Alex Harrison M.D. | Cardiologist

    Learn why collaboration is critical

    Collaborate with EPs for Success

    Collaboration Is Critical

    Collaboration between cardiology and electrophysiology can be critical to patient care. Together both specialties are working towards the goal of a symptom-free atrial fibrillation patient.

    Catheter Ablation: Pre and Post Procedure Management Tool

    This downloadable reference tool provides the cardiologist with pre- and post-ablation guidance.

    The pre-ablation checklist aids in ensuring all necessary evaluations, labs, imaging, and instructions are administered prior to the procedure.

    The post-ablation guidelines help to inform the cardiologist's ongoing patient management during the weeks and months following the procedure.

    11 Questions to Ask Your EP

    1
    Are you board certified in clinical cardiac electrophysiology?
    2
    How many years have you been performing catheter ablations, and how many catheter ablation procedures have you performed in the last year?
    3
    Do you utilize advanced imaging tools such as 3D mapping systems?
    4
    Which technique do you use for catheter ablation? Why do you favor this technique? E.g., wide area circumferential ablation (WACA), left atrial catheter ablation (LACA), pulmonary vein antrum ablation/isolation (PVAI)
    5
    What type of patient is the best candidate for a successful RF ablation procedure for AFib?
    6
    For which AFib patients would you consider catheter ablation to be contraindicated?
    7
    What percentage of your AFib patients ablated need re-do ablation procedures?
    8
    Do you typically perform the procedure under conscious sedation or general anesthesia?
    9
    What is your antiarrhythmic drug protocol post ablation procedure?
    10
    What is your anticoagulation protocol post ablation procedure?
    11
    How frequently does the patient need follow-up visits after the ablation procedure, and who will be seeing the patient on these follow-up visits?
