25 Years of Experience

Accepting patients

Overview

I am an academic cardiac electrophysiologist with over 25 years of experience in this field. My clinical practice focuses on the management of atrial fibrillation with ablation procedures and medication; reducing stroke and bleeding risk with left atrial appendage closure procedures; implantation and management of pacemakers, defibrillators, and loop recorders; and extraction of chronic pacemaker and defibrillator leads. My research interests include the prediction and prevention of sudden cardiac death, and new treatments for atrial fibrillation.

Q&A with Dr. Eric Rashba, MD

Q: What made you decide to pursue your specialty?

A: I chose to practice cardiac electrophysiology because it is an endlessly fascinating field, with constant advances in the care that we are able to provide patients. It is very satisfying to actually be able to cure patients' cardiac rhythm problems in many instances.

Q: What can patients expect from your care team at your practice?

A: Patients can expect personalized arrhythmia care, with in depth discussion of all treatment options. When procedures are indicated, our highly skilled and experienced team of nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and cardiac electrophysiologists work together seamlessly to achieve the best outcomes possible.
