Arrhythmia alters the heart’s rhythm, manifesting in slow, fast, uncoordinated, or irregular beats. Symptoms include palpitations, breathlessness, light-headedness, syncope, anxiety, fatigue, and, rarely, sudden cardiac arrest.
Immediate medical attention is crucial for those experiencing heart palpitations, fainting, abnormal heart rhythms on ECG, atrial fibrillation on EKG, or those who’ve survived sudden cardiac arrest.
Our specialists manage conditions such as bradycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular arrhythmias, syncope, heart failure, cardiac arrest survivors, and familial arrhythmia syndromes.
In addition to standard tests, our electrophysiologists recommend specialized diagnostics:
Our electrophysiologists deploy various procedures for rhythm disorders:

Cardiac Electrophysiology (EP) is a branch of cardiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders, also known as arrhythmias. It involves studying the electrical activity of the heart and using various procedures to correct irregular heart rhythms.
Common heart rhythm disorders include atrial fibrillation (AFib), ventricular tachycardia (VT), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), atrial flutter, and bradycardia (slow heart rate).
You should consider seeing a cardiac electrophysiologist if you experience symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, shortness of breath, or chest pain, which could indicate a heart rhythm disorder. Additionally, if you have been diagnosed with an arrhythmia or have a family history of heart rhythm disorders, it’s advisable to consult a cardiac electrophysiologist.
Diagnostic tests used in cardiac electrophysiology include electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG), Holter monitor, event monitor, echocardiogram, stress test, and electrophysiology study (EPS). These tests help in identifying the type and severity of heart rhythm disorders.
Treatment options for heart rhythm disorders may include medications, catheter ablation, implantable devices such as pacemakers or implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), and surgical procedures like maze surgery. The choice of treatment depends on the type and severity of the arrhythmia, as well as the patient’s overall health.
Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat certain types of arrhythmias. During the procedure, thin, flexible wires (catheters) are threaded through blood vessels to the heart. Radiofrequency energy or cryotherapy is then delivered through the catheter to destroy small areas of heart tissue that are causing abnormal electrical signals, thereby restoring normal heart rhythm.
Like any medical procedure, cardiac electrophysiology procedures carry some risks, including bleeding, infection, damage to blood vessels or heart structures, and adverse reactions to anesthesia or medications. However, these risks are typically low and are outweighed by the potential benefits of the treatment.
Recovery time after a cardiac electrophysiology procedure varies depending on the type of procedure performed and individual factors. In general, patients may need to stay in the hospital for a day or two after the procedure and limit physical activity for a period of time. Most patients can resume normal activities within a few days to a week following the procedure.
Yes, lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, exercising regularly, avoiding excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption, managing stress, and quitting smoking can help manage heart rhythm disorders and reduce the risk of recurrence. Additionally, adhering to prescribed medications and following up with your healthcare provider regularly are essential for optimal management of the condition.
