Dr. Juan Benezet Mazuecos
Arrhythmia Unit Manager
I am Dr. Juan Benezet Mazuecos, head of the Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology Unit at UICAR.
What is the Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology Unit?
Our Unit is responsible for the diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of patients suffering from heart rhythm disorders, offering current, effective and safe treatment for different tachyarrhythmias and bradyarrhythmias. To achieve this, we have medical and nursing personnel accredited at the highest level by both the Spanish Society of Cardiology and the European Society of Cardiology, as well as the technology necessary to offer optimal solutions to our patients.
What is the activity of the Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology Unit?
Our Arrhythmia Unit provides a comprehensive service to our patients, from consultation assessment and clinical follow-up to treatment through the application of interventional techniques and treatments.
Our centers have a dedicated Arrhythmia Clinic to care for patients with compatible symptoms and/or documented rhythm disorders. In this clinic, a certified specialist helps patients understand their condition and offers the best treatment and follow-up options. We also conduct follow-up appointments for cardiac stimulation devices (pacemakers, defibrillators, and subcutaneous Holter monitors), both in person and using remote monitoring systems.
Our centers have an Electrophysiology Suite for performing invasive procedures to treat certain arrhythmias. These procedures include diagnostic electrophysiological studies, conventional radiofrequency ablation of various tachyarrhythmias, ablation procedures using electroanatomical navigation systems, and pulmonary vein cryoablation for the treatment of atrial fibrillation. Our Unit also performs implantation of all cardiac stimulation systems (pacemakers, defibrillators, and cardiac resynchronization therapy devices).
What is the objective of the Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology Unit?
Our goal is to provide our patients with the best possible care and treatment , explaining their condition, showing them the various options, and giving them the best recommendations based on scientific evidence and clinical practice guidelines. Our aim is to offer the best, most effective, and safest treatments, and to support our patients throughout the follow-up and/or recovery from their condition.
