In July of 2007, Dr. Sidney Peykar began his practice of electrophysiology in Florida. Dr. Peykar spent considerable time and effort to establish the EP program including setting up equipment and training lab staff for complex arrhythmia ablation first in Charlotte County and then expanded his practice to Sarasota. His goal was to be the first to offer state of the art EP care for Southwest Florida.
Prior to his arrival there were no physicians performing his procedure in southwest Florida. Since then he has performed more than 5000 procedures and more than 3000 cardiac ablation‘s. He’s currently performing approximately 10 ablations a week.
With additional training at the Université Bordeaux, Hôpital Haut-Lévêque in Bordeaux, France- the world’s foremost institution for atrial fibrillation ablation-he performs the most advanced technique for cure of persistent (longer lasting) atrial fibrillation. (see a-fib.com )
