Electrophysiology

When do you need to see an Electrophysiologist?

EP catheters in the heart

When you experience an irregular heartbeat or have been noted to have an arrhythmia , you would need to see a specialist on heart rhythm disorders, an Electrophysiologist. An Electrophysiologist can help diagnose and treat cardiac arrhythmias as this is his/her field of expertise.

Devices: 

The other procedural aspect of Electrophysiology is implantation of cardiac devices.Pacemakers,Defibrillators (ICDs) and Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT=BiVentricular) are placed under the skin in the upper chest and are connected to wires that are snaked through veins and positioned into the heart for sensing, pacing and shock delivery. Although it takes time to learn the surgical installation process, and attention to detail to do it well, the far greater challenge in device management is skillfully applying these complex therapies in the management of patients–the judgment part.
