About

Care built on precision diagnosis and a decade in the EP lab

Dr. Haider Al Taii is a cardiac electrophysiologist at Aultman Deuble Heart & Vascular Hospital in Canton, Ohio. He specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of abnormal heart rhythms, from atrial fibrillation to ventricular tachycardia, using both established and emerging ablation techniques.

He completed his electrophysiology fellowship at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center following a cardiology fellowship at Florida Atlantic University and an internal medicine residency at Cleveland Clinic Fairview Hospital. He most recently served as Assistant Professor of Cardiac Electrophysiology at the University of Texas Medical Branch, where he treated complex referral cases and trained the next generation of cardiologists.

His practice is grounded in shared decision-making: explaining what is happening in the heart's electrical system in plain terms, and matching each patient to the least invasive option that will durably fix the problem.

Focus Areas

Conditions and procedures

Every treatment plan starts with confirming the exact mechanism of the arrhythmia before choosing a procedure.

01

Atrial fibrillation ablation

Catheter-based and pulsed field ablation (PFA) to restore normal rhythm and reduce stroke risk.

3D electroanatomic mapping of the left atrium during atrial fibrillation ablation, shown alongside intracardiac electrogram tracings.
02

Ventricular tachycardia ablation

Advanced mapping and ablation for VT, including in patients with prior ICDs, LVADs, or cardiac sarcoidosis.

3D electroanatomic voltage and activation map of the left ventricle used to guide ventricular tachycardia ablation, shown alongside intracardiac electrogram tracings.
03

Left atrial appendage closure

Watchman and related device implantation for patients seeking an alternative to long-term blood thinners.

04

Pacemaker & ICD therapy

Implantation and ongoing management of pacemakers and implantable defibrillators.

05

Syncope & EP studies

Diagnostic electrophysiology studies to identify the cause of fainting, palpitations, or unexplained rhythm symptoms.

06

Complex & high-risk arrhythmias

Advanced techniques for arrhythmias that have not responded to prior treatment, including epicardial ablation, alcohol (ethanol) ablation for refractory AFib and VT, and redo ablation procedures.
