What Is Electrophysiology?

Electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology that deals with conditions related to the electrical activity of your heart and abnormal heartbeats called arrhythmias. We diagnose and treat patients with atrial fibrillation and other heart rhythm disorders.

What Can I Expect During My Visit With An Electrophysiologist?

If your doctor thinks that you may have an abnormal heart rhythm, he or she may refer you to an electrophysiology specialist. To find out what is causing your heart rhythm disorder, your electrophysiologist will use the latest diagnostic technology, including:

• Electrocardiogram (ECG)
• Holter monitor
• Event recorder
• Echocardiogram
• Electrophysiology (EP) study.

By finding out the cause of your abnormal heartbeat, your doctor can develop the best treatment plan for you. Your treatment may include:

• Medication to control your heart rhythm and prevent blood clots that can cause a stroke
• A-fib ablation
• Electrical cardioversion
• Hybrid ablation
