At Sequoia Hospital, our arrhythmia program focuses on electrophysiology (EP), which studies and treats abnormal heart rhythms. It’s part of our cardiac catheterization laboratory (cath) lab, which features advanced technology to help diagnose and care for conditions like:

• Atrial fibrillation
• Inappropriate sinus tachycardia (IST)
• Heart arrhythmia
• Sudden heart failure
• Congestive heart failure (CHF)

We’ve pioneered arrhythmia treatments. We’re one of the first California health systems to offer pulsed-field ablation for atrial fibrillation. Our specialists also implanted the first-ever leadless pacemaker on the West Coast.

Our Sequoia Hospital offers preventive screenings to help you stay on top of your cardiovascular health.

Adult functional independence test (AFIT):

This comprehensive, one-on-one assessment administered by a licensed occupational or physical therapist evaluates flexibility, strength, balance, posture and endurance. Your results are compared to age- and sex-based norms, and you’ll receive a personalized exercise program based on your assessment. AFIT testing is available at the rehabilitation department at Sequoia Hospital. Please call (650) 367-5517 to schedule an appointment.

Free monthly blood pressure screenings:

Community-based blood pressure screenings are offered at local senior and community centers throughout Redwood City, Menlo Park, Belmont, Redwood Shores and San Carlos. Screenings are conducted by a community health registered nurse, and you’ll have the opportunity to review and discuss your results. These screenings are free and held on a rotating monthly schedule at various locations.
