Imaging technologies play a vital role in the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, and the Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute at St. David’s Medical Center (TCAI) has the most advanced technology available.

Our state-of-the-art imaging technologies include CartoSound integration, which combines real-time intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) imaging with robotic navigation, and DynaCT, which works with the Artis zeego system to provide high-resolution CT scans onsite within the electrophysiology laboratory suite.

Physicians and laboratory staff from around the world come to TCAI to learn about new technologies and imaging techniques, such as using ICE for optimization of biventricular pacing (BiV) lead placement. This innovative approach to cardiac resynchronization therapy is useful in treating patients with extremely compromised heart function.
