Research

There are two major foci to my research efforts. The first focus is identification of predictors of outcome from cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) to treat congestive heart failure. Optimization of these factors, including patient selection, device placement issues including lead site selection, device programming and patient follow-up, has been demonstrated to result in improved outcomes after CRT implantation. The second major focus is identification of anatomical and procedural variables associated with success of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) and ventricular tachycardia (VT). I am actively pursuing investigation in both of these areas at the present time, and this work has resulted in multiple publications and presentations at national meetings.

Dr Heist is kind and knowledge about my health. He never rushes the visit and always asks what else can I do for you today.


November 2024

Helpful discussion of my experience with anti coagulation and the risks/benefits of having a watchman procedure. We also agreed that my current regime was reasonable and this was reassuring, as at this point I am not ready to commit to the watchman procedure.

I really appreciated Dr. Heist's office getting me in to see him promptly after requesting a meeting on the portal. And I respect Dr. Heist's professionalism and care
