Mayo Clinic's approach
- Experience. Mayo Clinic staff in the Heart Rhythm Clinic has extensive experience and expertise in diagnosing and treating people with heart rhythm disorders.
- Team approach. Mayo Clinic doctors trained in evaluating and treating cardiovascular diseases (cardiologists) and performing cardiac surgery (cardiovascular surgeons), as well as other doctors and staff, work closely to evaluate and treat people with heart rhythm conditions.
- Efficient system. A detailed itinerary for appointments, tests and procedures lets you make the most of your time at the clinic. Mayo staff runs all tests and labs at Mayo Clinic, which means tests taken in the morning can be reviewed the same afternoon. This collaborative approach means doctors can often evaluate you and develop a treatment plan within two or three days.
