Your heart has its own electrical system, and when that system misfires, the effects reach every part of your life. Irregular heartbeats, unexpected fainting, a racing pulse, or a slow heart rate that leaves you exhausted are not symptoms to push through or explain away.
At Valley Heart & Rhythm in Tarzana, CA, Menachem Wakslak, MD, provides the full scope of cardiac electrophysiology care with one guiding principle: He sees a person, not a patient. Board-certified and practicing in the San Fernando Valley since 2012, Dr. Wakslak and his team deliver subspecialty precision with a level of personal attention that sets them apart from high-volume cardiology centers.
Atrial Fibrillation Treatment
Atrial fibrillation is the most common heart rhythm disorder, and it significantly raises the risk of stroke. Treatment is not one-size-fits-all. Some patients are best managed with medication; others benefit from ablation. Dr. Wakslak’s approach to atrial fibrillation treatment is guided by what is right for you, using advanced techniques including pulsed-field and radiofrequency ablation to restore normal rhythm with precision.
Arrhythmias & Heart Rhythm Conditions
Heart rhythm conditions range from mildly inconvenient to medically serious, and accurate diagnosis is everything. Valley Heart & Rhythm evaluates and treats the full spectrum of conditions, including atrial flutter, supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), ventricular tachycardia and PVCs, bradycardia, and heart block. Each condition has its own profile of symptoms, risks, and treatment options, and your care plan will reflect that.
Electrophysiology & Ablation
Electrophysiology is the subspecialty dedicated to diagnosing and correcting the electrical problems that drive arrhythmias. EP services at Valley Heart & Rhythm include cardiac electrophysiology studies, cardiac ablation for arrhythmias, and cardioversion. Dr. Wakslak uses modern techniques, including fluoroless catheter ablation, to reduce radiation exposure during procedures.
Pacemakers & Cardiac Devices
When a heart rhythm condition requires long-term device therapy, Valley Heart & Rhythm provides comprehensive cardiac device care from implantation through ongoing management. Services include pacemaker implantation and management, ICD and CRT device care, cardiac device checks and remote monitoring, and implantable loop recorder placement. Every recommendation is individualized to your condition and your lifestyle.
Evaluation & Heart Rhythm Monitoring
Heart rhythm problems do not always surface during a standard office visit, which is why monitoring matters. Valley Heart & Rhythm offers palpitations and arrhythmia evaluation, syncope evaluation for patients experiencing fainting or near-fainting episodes, and Holter and ambulatory heart rhythm monitoring to record your heart’s activity over time. Getting the right answer starts with getting the right data.
Additional Cardiology Services
If you have received a diagnosis or treatment recommendation and want a second expert opinion, Dr. Wakslak provides second opinions for heart rhythm disorders with the same depth and honesty he brings to his own patients. General cardiology consultation and follow-up care are also available for patients who need broader cardiac management alongside their rhythm-focused treatment.
Why Choose Valley Heart & Rhythm for Heart Rhythm Care in Tarzana, CA?
Valley Heart & Rhythm was built as a deliberate alternative to assembly-line medicine. Dr. Wakslak trained at leading institutions, including the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and completed his cardiac electrophysiology fellowship at the University of Rochester Medical Center. He brings that level of expertise to a practice intentionally kept small enough that every patient is known by name, not by chart number.
What makes Valley Heart & Rhythm different is not just the credentials. It is how care is actually delivered. Every clinical decision comes back to one physician who knows your complete history. There are no rotating providers, no handoffs to unfamiliar faces, and no recommendations shaped by production targets. The right treatment for the right patient is the standard, and Dr. Wakslak and his team hold themselves to it for everyone they see.
