FAQs
Cardiac electrophysiology is a specialized branch of cardiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders. It includes procedures like radiofrequency ablation, pacemaker implantation, and ICD placement to manage arrhythmias effectively.
Radiofrequency Ablation (RFA) is a minimally invasive procedure where heat energy is used to destroy abnormal heart tissue causing irregular heartbeats. It helps restore normal rhythm and reduces dependency on long-term medications.
Symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, extreme fatigue, irregular heartbeats, and episodes of sudden cardiac arrest may indicate the need for a pacemaker or ICD. A thorough electrophysiological evaluation helps determine the right treatment.
