MercyOne Iowa Heart Rhythm Center West Des Moines

MercyOne Iowa Heart Center electrophysiologists treat patients with abnormal heart rhythms, called arrhythmias. Treatment options range from medications and implantable pacemakers and defibrillators, to cardiac ablation therapy to eliminate the source of irregular heartbeats. 

We implant more pacemakers and defibrillators and do more ablation procedures than any group in Iowa. MercyOne Iowa Heart Center electrophysiologists and heart rhythm specialists are also leaders, nationally, in evaluating new devices and treatment options for their patients.
