Our EP doctors incorporate state-of-the-art equipment in their daily procedures.
Catheter ablation now include the routine use of three dimensional mapping systems and intracardiac
ultrasound to help the physician visualize heart structure. In addition, our physicians are one of the
first EP in the USA to implement robotic manipulation of both catheters and pacing leads using magnetic
computer based system (Stereotaxis). As a result of the above technology, our success rates are excellent
with a low rate of complications.
The goal of our staff is excellence in patient care and patients outcomes, striving to exceed patient and family expectations, and maximizing quality of life.
Lexington Cardiology Consultants' Electrophysiology Clinics are located in Lexington, Morehead, Maysville, Martin, and Somerset.
