Treating Atrial Fibrillation

We understand that the impact of heart disease is greater in marginalized communities. Genetics plays a part, but unequal access to great health care is also a factor. At Providence, we value, respect and support the racial, ethnic, religious, gender, sexual and spiritual identities of all our patients. We are deeply committed to making sure everyone in our diverse communities has equal access to the best heart care. To do this, we offer location-specific services that help meet our patients’ needs. This includes translation for non-English-speaking patients, telehealth and transportation assistance. And we never turn a patient away, regardless of their ability to pay. Instead, we work harder to make sure every patient is treated equally and with dignity – whoever you are, and wherever you’re at.

As a patient at Providence, you belong to one of the largest community-based networks for heart care in the United States. This means your local heart care team shares knowledge and experience with other cardiac specialists across 51 hospitals in seven states. If specialty care is needed, your heart care team can easily reach the physicians with the most expertise. Take the story of one of our atrial fibrillation patients. When his heart medications sapped his energy, he looked to the Providence network to find a national leader in cardiac electrophysiology to perform an ablation procedure using state-of-the-art 3D mapping. This helped block electrical signals that were creating an irregular heartbeat, and he's now back to feeling like himself again. The power of our network is one of the reasons more than 125,000 atrial fibrillation patients, and more than 400,000 heart patients, choose Providence each year.
