When Rod went to the emergency room with a heart racing out of control,
Demetrio Castillo, MD, and the Memorial Cardiac an d VVaascular Institute
electrophysiology team diagnosed Rod with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
With a defibrillator implant and an ablation Rod’s heart rhythm was restored.

Using advanced techniques like fluoroless radiation-free ablation and minimally
invasive surgical- and catheter-based ablation, our electrophysiologists are
experts in diagnosing and treating complex arrhythmias.

More than that, “Dr. Castillo cared about him as if it was his own family member,”
said Rebecca, Rod’s daughter.

We know that providing life-saving heart care today can mean more time and
more memories with those you love. It’s why we do what we do. Memorial —
we lead with heart.
