Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Service Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Service The Johns Hopkins Electrophysiology Service exists to provide heart patients with timely, accurate diagnoses and therapies. They do this by using advanced technologies and working as a team with you, your family, and your physician to help you continue or return to your normal daily activities as soon as possible. The Electrophysiology Service began in the early 1970s with two goals: to provide leading edge care for patients with irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias) and to do research to determine the cause of arrhythmias and develop treatments for patients who have heart rhythm problems. As the first such service in Maryland, and one of the first in the United States, the Johns Hopkins Electrophysiology Service rapidly took on a leadership role. An early success was the development and use of the first automatic implantable defibrillator, also known as implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs). In 1980, Dr. Levi Watkins first implanted this device, which was invented by Drs. Michel Mirowski and Morton Mower, in a patient who had experienced numerous episodes of life-threatening arrhythmias. Since then, ICDs have saved hundreds of thousands of lives and are recognized as the most effective treatment to prevent sudden cardiac death. Currently, doctors in the Electrophysiology Service are focusing their efforts on catheter ablation, a technique that can cure abnormal heart rhythms. Other areas of clinical and research interest include the causes and treatment of atrial fibrillation and syncope (fainting), the prevention and treatment of problems that may cause cardiac death, as well as further perfecting pacemaker and ICD therapy.

Arrhythmia Clinic Taubman Health Care Center 1500 E. Medical Center Drive Ann Arbor, MI 48109 Director: Fred Morady, MD The Arrhythmia Clinic focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms in adults. Abnormal heart rhythms result from problems with the heart's electrical system. Symptoms that can result from this type of problem include palpitations, skipped beats, very fast heart rates or heart racing, dizziness, and/or fainting. The doctor who sees patients in this clinic is a specialist called an electrophysiologist. Oakwood Hospital 18101 Oakwood Blvd. Dearborn, MI 48123 Director: Adam Strickberger, MD U-M electrophysiologists staff this clinic and lab based at Oakwood Hospital in Dearborn for the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms.

(requires Acrobat Reader Gene Variant Increases Risk of Cardiac Arrhythmia for African-Americans "It is worth knowing if you have the variant because there are simple things you can do to prevent arrhythmias," said HHMI investigator Mark T. Keating. The researchers estimate that 4.6 million African-Americans carry this gene variant. The finding could benefit African-Americans by making it possible to detect who is at increased risk for developing arrhythmia and allowing those affected to take preventive measures. The study is one of the first in which researchers have been able to discern how genetics influences arrhythmia risk across a range of populations of people who originated from different geographic regions.
