FAQs
Cardiac electrophysiology is a specialized field that deals with the electrical activity of the heart. It helps diagnose and treat arrhythmias using procedures such as catheter ablation and pacemaker implantation.
An Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) is a device used to prevent sudden cardiac arrest by detecting and correcting life-threatening arrhythmias. It is recommended for patients at high risk of ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation.
Catheter ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that helps treat irregular heart rhythms by targeting and destroying abnormal heart tissue, leading to improved heart function and reduced symptoms.
