Mayo Clinic's approach
At Mayo Clinic, heart doctors (cardiologists), heart surgeons (cardiovascular surgeons) and other health care professionals work as a team to evaluate and treat people with heart rhythm disorders. This collaborative approach means that your health care team can often create a personalized treatment plan within 2 to 3 days.
