Electrophysiology

What is electrophysiology?

Electrophysiology is a specialized branch of cardiology focused on diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders, known as arrhythmias. These conditions occur when the electrical impulses that regulate your heartbeat become irregular, causing the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or erratically.

Some common types of arrhythmias include:

Electrophysiologists use advanced diagnostic tools and minimally invasive procedures to evaluate and treat these conditions, such as electrophysiology studies to map electrical activity or pacemaker/ICD implantation to regulate heart rhythm.
