When are we operational?
Elective activity: Tuesday to Thursday, from 8:00 to 16:00
Urgencies: Everyday 24/24H, through ER or 118
What we do
The most important arrhythmia symptoms we treat are:
- Palpitation
- Irregular heartbeat
- Loss of consciousness (syncope)
Combination of symptoms, exams and instrumental data can give more reliable diagnosis, to decide a potential drug therapy or invasive tests in Electrophysiology and Electrostimulation Room. It is equipped with state-of-the-art technology, such as navigation with non-fluoroscopic 3D systems, to electric or hybrid reconstruction of heart chambers with rotational fluoroscopy acquisition.
Our centre philosophy
The philosophy of this centre, where doctor-patient relationship are very important, consists in a path which starts from outpatient visits for a complete clinical evaluation, to find the best possible therapy, involving the family when possible. It continues with hospitalization in the ward of very recent construction, with modern equipment for monitoring the patient. For an accurate medical history, continuous electrocardiogram and telemetric monitoring, biochemical tests and advanced diagnostic imaging can be performed.
Arrhythmology Area also has spaces dedicated to cardiologic emergency room and to perform electric cardioversion under deep sedation as day-hospital surgery.

Urgencies: Everyday 24/7, through ER or 118
A cardiological specialistic visit evidencing this necessity is necessary for hospitalization for electrophysiologic study, implantation of pacemaker/defibrillator or loop-recorder.
Interventional procedures performed are:
- Electrophysiologic study
- Transcatether ablation with fluoroscopic technique for tachycardia
- Transcatether ablation with 3D navigation technique for atrial fibrillation, Atypical atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia (CARTO3 and NAVX)
- Implantation of pacemaker and defibrillator with remote monitoring
- Biventricular stimulation for cardiac decompensation
- Implantation of miniaturized loop-recorder with remote monitoring
Thanks to our staff’s experience in ablative techniques and to modern equipment, ours is a state-of-the-art centre. Particularly distinctive is the recent and innovative cryoablation technique for pulmonary veins.
This permits a swift treatment, a better patient compliance and an improvement of results.
