Electrophysiology

The electrophysiology team’s unwavering commitment to creating a patient-centered care model has led to hard-earned recognition and success.

Focused on optimizing results

2024 Outcomes

Overview

Our dedicated team is a unified and cohesive group focusing on safe, quality outcomes. The department continues to add new physicians to meet our growing community needs, ensuring our patients can receive electrophysiology heart care promptly while we continue striving to incorporate innovative technologies.

Accomplishments

  • Involved in clinical trials for and were early adopters of pulsed-field ablation technology for treating atrial fibrillation, placing Baylor Scott & White The Heart Hospital – Plano among the top three centers in the US for utilizing this technology.
  • Full participation in the EP Device Implant Registry (EPDI), a rigorous national monitoring platform that tracks quality outcomes in a way that compares facilities across the country.
  • Accomplished a 0% mortality score for CRT-P, Leadless, HIS bundle and Left Bundle procedures at all three locations.
  • Maintained a 0% mortality for left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) device procedures while fostering a 4% volume growth.
  • Successfully graduated Plano’s first electrophysiology fellow.
  • Streamlined MRI scanning of patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices.

On the horizon

  • Applying to obtain formal ACC Electrophysiology Accreditation, a recognition secured by only six other facilities in Texas and 41 in the US, demonstrating our commitment to quality and patient safety.

Innovations

We incorporate innovative technologies and techniques and strive to stay on-trend and involved in the latest guideline evolution.

Utilizing pulsed-field ablation technology, which is growing in popularity due to its success rate, shorter procedure time, reduced radiation exposure for patients and, in many cases, same-day discharges.
