 My name is Ripo Hensalia. I'm a cardiac electrophysiologist at Jersey Shore University Medical Center. Cardiac electrophysiology is a subset of cardiology and specifically what we do is we treat the electrical system of the heart. All of our hearts have electricity running through them. It makes our hearts beat rhythmically like a clock. So we treat arrhythmias, fast, slow heartbeats as well as put in pacemakers and defibrillators and treat some structural diseases of the heart as well. One of the achievements that I'm most proud of is building the extraction program over the last 10 years. Extractions are where we remove pacemakers and defibrillators, typically for infection. And since we've started the program here at Jersey Shore University Medical Center, we have become a referral center for patients who have infections of their pacemakers and defibrillators. Every patient is an individual and individualizing that care is at the center of my philosophy. Although two cases can be similar, they're never exactly alike. Choosing what's good for you might not be good for the next patient who has the same problem. Cardiac care is an amazing field. Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer for men in the country. Our treatment options for cardiac disease, specifically the heart, continue to evolve and they're amazing right now. It's always attracted me to try to help people and advance that care in any way, shape, and form.
