Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology Fellowship

The Harvard-Thorndike Electrophysiology Institute and Arrhythmia Service at BIDMC is the oldest and largest program of its kind in the region. Staff were among the pioneers of modern cardiac electrophysiology, and continue cutting-edge research. Attracting patients nationally and worldwide, with about 7,000 visits annually in the arrhythmia and pacemaker/device clinics, the service offers advanced diagnosis and treatment modalities, including catheter-based ablation to control or cure a variety of arrhythmias with standard and investigational mapping systems.

The ambulatory electrocardiography laboratory provides 24-hour surveillance for arrhythmia diagnosis and management. In addition to implantation of standard and investigational pacemakers and defibrillators, pacemaker and ICD lead explantation are performed. Patients benefit from education and support groups. The Clinical EP services conducts daily teaching conferences and participates actively in the general clinical cardiology conference program.

The EP service is involved in multiple research studies, the majority of which are initiated by investigators at BIDMC. Currently active areas of investigation include noninvasive high resolution ECG analyses to detect persons at risk for ventricular tachyarrhythmias, study of investigational mapping systems, investigation of both noninvasive and invasive methods to identify persons likely to benefit from ICD therapy, and evaluation of mechanisms of atrial an ventricular arrhythmia. Clinical research is supplemented by an active preclinical (animal) research program that includes state-of-the-art mapping and imaging systems.
