Dr. Fischer trained in Cardiology at Mount Sinai and went to The Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, for training in Cardiac Electrophysiology. While in Boston, he trained with one of the leaders in the field of laser lead extraction for removal of chronic pacemaker and defibrillator leads. Dr. Fischer will be bringing this technology to Mount. Sinai. He has a keen interest in implantable device therapy and will be acting as the Director of the Device Therapy Clinic. He performs a variety of implants, including pacemakers, defibrillators and bi-ventricular devices and has a particular interest in cardiac resynchronization therapy for patients with advanced congestive heart failure. In addition, Dr. Fischer is skilled in catheter ablation of arrhythmias including complex supraventricular and ventricular tachyarrhythmias as well as atrial fibrillation.
