Dr. Yoel Vivas completed his residency at the Hospital of St. Raphael, Yale University School of Medicine. He continued his training in cardiology at The Western Pennsylvania Hospital, Temple University Program in Pittsburgh, PA where he also served as chief fellow. He then completed his training in clinical cardiac electrophysiology at the Lahey Clinic, Tufts University School of Medicine in Massachusetts.
Dr. Vivas is the founder of the Arrhythmia Center of South Florida and has been practicing clinical cardiac electrophysiology (CCEP) at Delray Medical Center since 2012. He is currently ABIM certified in CCEP, advanced heart failure and transplant cardiology, and cardiovascular diseases. He offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment of arrhythmias, including but not limited to ablation of atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, supraventricular and ventricular tachycardia. He also specializes in implantation of pacemakers, defibrillators and devices to treat heart failure (cardiac resynchronization therapy). His clinical interests include advanced techniques for ablation of persistent atrial fibrillation, zero radiation technology procedures and physiologic pacing.
Dr. Vivas is the author of many scientific abstracts in the field of atrial fibrillation and continues to be involved in various clinical trials in the field of cardiac electrophysiology.
He is serving as an Affiliate Assistant Professor of Clinical Biomedical Sciences at Â鶹ŮÀÉ, Boca Raton, FL since 2012, where he is actively involved in teaching the cardiology fellows, residents, and medical students.
