Electrophysiology

Advanced diagnosis and treatment of complex heart rhythm disorders.

What is Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology?

Clinical Cardiac Electrophysiology is a subspecialty of cardiology focused on understanding, diagnosing, and treating problems with the heart's electrical system. Electrophysiologists are highly trained specialists who use advanced techniques to evaluate abnormal heart rhythms and deliver targeted therapies to restore normal function.

What Conditions Does It Address?

Electrophysiology plays a key role in managing a wide range of heart rhythm disorders, including:

Atrial Fibrillation (AFib)
Atrial Flutter
Ventricular Tachycardia
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
Heart Block
Bradycardia (Slow Heart Rate)

How Are Heart Rhythm Disorders Diagnosed?

Electrophysiologists use a combination of advanced diagnostic tools to identify and evaluate rhythm abnormalities:

Electrocardiogram (ECG)
Records electrical activity to detect rhythm problems
Holter Monitor
Continuous 24–48 hour wearable heart rhythm tracker
Implantable Loop Recorder
Long-term implantable monitor for rare or unexplained events
EP Study
Catheter-based procedure to map and evaluate the heart's electrical system

What Treatment Options Are Available?

MedicationsAntiarrhythmics, rate control drugs, and blood thinners to manage rhythm and prevent stroke
AblationCatheter ablation destroys the tissue causing abnormal electrical signals
PacemakerImplanted device to regulate a heart that beats too slowly
ICDImplantable Cardioverter Defibrillator to treat life-threatening fast rhythms
CardioversionElectrical shock or medication used to restore normal heart rhythm

When Should You See an Electrophysiologist?

You should seek care from an electrophysiologist if you experience any of the following warning signs:

Heart palpitations or racing heart
Unexplained dizziness or lightheadedness
Fainting or near-fainting episodes
Unexplained shortness of breath
Chest pain or discomfort
Prior history of heart rhythm disorder
