About Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology is a specialized field of cardiology that focuses on diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders. It involves studying the heart's electrical system, using catheters to map abnormal electrical pathways, and performing procedures like ablation to correct them. Electrophysiology helps restore normal heart rhythm, improving quality of life and reducing complications. It is performed by expert electrophysiologists using advanced technology. Recovery is usually quick, and common conditions treated include atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia. Choosing Fortis ensures access to skilled specialists, advanced technology, and comprehensive care for heart rhythm disorders.

FAQs
-
What is electrophysiology?Electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology that focuses on the electrical system of the heart. It involves the diagnosis and treatment of various heart rhythm disorders, also known as arrhythmias.
-
What are some common heart rhythm disorders treated by electrophysiology?Electrophysiology addresses a wide range of heart rhythm disorders, including atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, supraventricular tachycardia, and bradycardia. These conditions involve abnormal electrical impulses in the heart.
-
How is electrophysiology performed?Electrophysiology procedures involve inserting catheters into blood vessels and guiding them to the heart. These catheters can map the electrical activity of the heart and deliver therapies such as ablation to correct abnormal rhythms.
-
What is cardiac ablation?Cardiac ablation is a procedure performed during electrophysiology in which targeted areas of the heart are treated to correct abnormal electrical pathways. It involves the use of heat (radiofrequency ablation) or extreme cold (cryoablation) to destroy or modify the tissue causing the arrhythmia.
-
What are the benefits of electrophysiology procedures?Electrophysiology procedures can help restore normal heart rhythm, alleviate symptoms associated with arrhythmias, and reduce the risk of complications such as stroke or heart failure. They can improve quality of life and reduce the need for long-term medication.
-
Are electrophysiology procedures safe?Electrophysiology procedures are generally considered safe and have a high success rate. However, like any medical procedure, there are risks involved, including bleeding, infection, damage to blood vessels, or complications related to anesthesia. The specific risks and benefits will be discussed with the healthcare provider before the procedure.
-
How experienced are the electrophysiologists at Fortis?The electrophysiologists at Fortis are highly skilled and experienced in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders. They have specialized training in electrophysiology procedures and use the latest technology and techniques to provide the best possible care for patients.
-
What can I expect during recovery after an electrophysiology procedure?Recovery after an electrophysiology procedure varies depending on the individual and the specific procedure performed. In general, patients can expect to stay in the hospital for a day or two for monitoring. Some discomfort or soreness at the catheter insertion site is common, but most patients can resume their normal activities within a few days to a week. Detailed post-procedure instructions will be provided by the healthcare team.
