Get to know Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiologist Dr. Tina C. Sichrovsky, who serves patients in Paramus, New Jersey.

Dr. Sichrovsky is a board-certified clinical cardiac electrophysiologist who, in addition to her affiliation with Valley Hospital, can be found on staff at VMG – Electrophysiology & Cardiology in Paramus, New Jersey. 

An integral part of Valley Health System, Valley Medical Group (VMG) is a physician-led and professionally-managed group practice dedicated to improving the health and wellness of the people it serves. It features more than 300 physicians, physician assistants, and nurse practitioners in nearly 30 specialties. At VMG – Electrophysiology & Cardiology, Dr. Sichrovsky treats conditions such as atrial fibrillation, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, sinus node dysfunction, and atrioventricular block. 

A believer that patience and empathy are equally as important as knowledge and skills, Dr. Sichrovsky also serves as a Clinical Instructor at The Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City, New York.

In 1998, she earned her medical degree from the Medical University of Vienna. She then went on to complete her rotating internship at Korneuburg Hospital in Austria, followed by her residency in internal medicine at St. Luke’s-Roosevelt Hospital Center in New York City in 2000. She also completed her fellowship training in cardiology and electrophysiology at the same venue in 2006 and 2007, respectively. 

In addition to being a Fellow of the American College of Cardiology, the doctor is board-certified in clinical cardiac electrophysiology and cardiovascular disease by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM). The ABIM is a physician-led, non-profit, independent evaluation organization driven by doctors who want to achieve higher standards for better care in a rapidly changing world. 

Clinical cardiac electrophysiology is a branch of the medical specialty of cardiology that is concerned with the study and treatment of rhythm disorders of the heart. Cardiologists with expertise in this area are usually referred to as clinical cardiac electrophysiologists. They focus on the heart’s timing, or electrical system, and on diagnosing and treating irregular heartbeats or arrhythmias. They are also qualified to perform special tests and procedures on the heart and its electrical system, such as an electrophysiology study and ablation and implant cardiac devices, such as pacemakers and defibrillators.

As such, Dr. Sichrovsky had always been fascinated by how the complex human body works and how to intervene when it doesn’t work the way it should. She also likes the fact that as a doctor, she plays a very humanistic role in working to make others feel better and live longer. In addition to English, she speaks German.
