What is Atrial Fibrillation?

Atrial fibrillation, commonly known as a.fib, is a disorder that affects the normal heart rate. With this abnormal heart rate or an arrhythmia, the heart tends to beat either too fast also called as tachycardia or too slow, also called as bradycardia or irregularly. These disorders in turn affect the amount of blood pumped by the heart.

Common EP Disorders and Procedures

ARRHYTHMIAS

Cardiac Arrhythmias

CRT

Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy

RFA

Radiofrequency Ablation

What is Cardiac Electrophysiology ? Electro- is a prefix which means “electricity.” Physiology means study of the activities of any of the organism’s parts. Thus, cardiac electrophysiology cardiac EP is the study of electricity of the heart, it specifically deals with electrical impulses in the heart.

Common Cardiac Conditions

Common Cardiac
Arrhythmias

Cardiac arrhythmias are rapid, slow or could be irregular heart rhythm caused by abnormalities in the electrical impulses of the heart.

Premature Ventricular Contractions

PVCs are extra abnormal heartbeats that begin in the lower pumping chambers of the heart or ventricles that may disrupt your regular heart rhythm.

Ablations, Pacemakers and ICDs

Cardiac ablation, pacemakers and ICDs are common cardiac procedures that are performed in a catherization lab to treat cardiac disorders.

Sick Sinus Syndrome

The sinus node of your heart could increase your heart rate during workload. If you have SSS, your heart rate may either be too slow or fast to meet demands.

Heart Block

An electrical impulse travels to the heart chambers. These impulse makes your heart to pump blood. When these signals slow down a condition occurs called a heart block.

Cardiac Rehabilitation

A cardiac rehab is a structured programme of exercises, and information sessions to help patients’ to get back to their ADLs again after a heart attack or procedure.
