Cardiac Electrophysiology procedures at St. Joseph Medical Center include implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), pacemakers, and cardiac ablation. ICDs are often implanted for patients who suffered cardiac arrest, those at high risk of cardiac arrest, and individuals with certain genetic abnormalities.
