Advanced Expertise in Comprehensive Atrial Fibrillation Care
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is an abnormal heart rhythm that is irregular and fast and is the most common type of arrhythmia. AFib increases the risk of stroke, reduces the heart's efficiency and lowers the quality of life for most people.
Piedmont’s Atrial Fibrillation Program offers comprehensive care and cutting-edge treatment options for every patient with AFib – all under one roof. Our electrophysiology (EP) specialists have the experience and expertise to provide treatment options that help patients better manage their symptoms and feel better faster.

Our Patient-Centered Approach
When patients see a provider at our clinic, they receive a full, comprehensive evaluation of their AFib, focusing on four pillars of care:
- Maintenance of sinus rhythm
- Rate control
- Stroke prevention
- Management of risk factors
We focus on treating risk factors for atrial fibrillation and reducing the risk of stroke, but we also have several advanced treatment options available to patients with AFib. Our model includes collaboration with a multidisciplinary care team, and we strive to create a long-term strategy to manage AFib tailored to each patient individually.
