Cardiac Electrophysiology

What is Cardiac Electrophysiology?

Cardiac electrophysiology is a specialized area of cardiology focused on diagnosing and treating electrical activities of the heart. These electrical signals regulate the heart's rhythm, and abnormalities can lead to arrhythmias, or irregular heartbeats. Through advanced diagnostic techniques and procedures, electrophysiologists address these issues to help restore normal heart function and improve patients' quality of life.

Diagnostic and Treatment Services

Diagnostic Tests

Our cardiac electrophysiology services include a range of diagnostic tests to accurately detect heart rhythm problems. These include:

• Electrocardiograms (EKG/ECG): Measures and records the electrical activity of the heart.
• Holter Monitoring: Continuously records heart activity over 24 to 48 hours.
• Event Monitors: Records heart rhythms when you experience symptoms over a longer period, typically 30 days.
• Electrophysiology Studies (EPS): A detailed test to investigate the electrical pathways of the heart.

Treatment Procedures

Electrophysiologists employ a variety of procedures to treat arrhythmias, including:

• Catheter Ablation: Uses radiofrequency energy to destroy small areas of heart tissue that cause abnormal rhythms.
• Implantable Devices: Pacemakers and defibrillators are surgically placed to help regulate heartbeats and prevent sudden cardiac arrest.

Advanced Technologies

Our facilities are equipped with the latest technologies to ensure the highest quality of care. We use advanced 3D mapping systems to precisely pinpoint problem areas within the heart and guide treatment procedures more effectively.
