Electrophysiology Services
Electrophysiology (EP) is a specialized branch of cardiology focused on the study, diagnosis, and treatment of heart rhythm disorders, also known as arrhythmias. This field examines the electrical activity of the heart to detect irregularities in how the heart beats. At Revere Health, our electrophysiology services help patients manage heart rhythm problems by offering advanced diagnostics and treatments, including procedures to correct or control abnormal heart rhythms.
What Are Heart Rhythm Disorders?
Arrhythmias: Conditions where the heart beats too fast (tachycardia), too slow (bradycardia), or irregularly (atrial fibrillation).
Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): A common arrhythmia where the heart’s upper chambers beat irregularly, increasing the risk of stroke and heart failure.
Ventricular Tachycardia: A fast heart rate that originates from the lower chambers, which can be life-threatening if not treated.
Electrophysiology Services Offered
Electrophysiology Studies (EPS): A diagnostic procedure that maps the electrical pathways of the heart to determine the cause of arrhythmias.
Cardiac Ablation: A minimally invasive procedure that uses radiofrequency energy or cryotherapy to destroy small areas of tissue causing irregular heart rhythms.
Pacemaker and Defibrillator Implantation: Devices implanted to regulate the heart’s rhythm, with pacemakers treating slow heartbeats and defibrillators treating fast, dangerous arrhythmias.
Cardioversion: A treatment that uses electric shocks or medications to restore normal heart rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation or flutter.
Benefits of Electrophysiology Services
Accurate Diagnosis: Electrophysiology studies provide detailed information about the heart’s electrical system, allowing for precise diagnosis of rhythm disorders.
Effective Treatment Options: Procedures like ablation can offer long-term relief from arrhythmias and reduce the risk of complications such as stroke or heart failure.
Improved Quality of Life: By managing and controlling arrhythmias, patients can enjoy a healthier, more active lifestyle with reduced symptoms.
