FAQs About Cardiac Electrophysiology
Cardiac electrophysiology is a subspecialty of cardiology that focuses on the heart’s electrical system and the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias).
Procedures in this field are performed to evaluate the heart’s electrical conduction, identify abnormal heart rhythms, and treat them when necessary.
