FAQ's Related to Cardiac Electrophysiologist

A cardiologist diagnoses and treats heart conditions, while a cardiac electrophysiologist specialises in disorders involving the heart's electrical system. Electrophysiologists evaluate abnormal heart rhythms and may recommend medication, catheter ablation, implanted cardiac devices, or other treatments depending on the condition.

You may need an electrophysiology consultation if you experience recurrent palpitations, unexplained rapid heartbeats, fainting associated with a suspected arrhythmia, or have been diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, SVT, WPW syndrome, Brugada syndrome, or another heart rhythm disorder.

Brugada syndrome is an inherited electrical disorder that can increase the risk of dangerous ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac arrest in some people. Diagnosis generally involves clinical assessment, ECG findings, family history, and other investigations when appropriate. Management may include risk assessment, lifestyle precautions, medication in selected cases, and an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) for patients at sufficient risk.

Epicardial ablation is a specialised procedure in which a catheter is used to target abnormal electrical tissue on the outer surface of the heart. In selected patients with Brugada syndrome, it may reduce the electrical abnormalities responsible for arrhythmias. It is not suitable for everyone and requires assessment by an experienced electrophysiology team.

Catheter ablation can eliminate or substantially reduce certain arrhythmias, but outcomes vary according to the type of rhythm disorder, the patient's heart condition, and other clinical factors. Some patients may need medication, repeat ablation, or continued monitoring.

Certain ventricular arrhythmias can prevent the heart from pumping blood effectively, potentially causing cardiac arrest. The risk varies depending on the underlying heart condition, the specific arrhythmia, family history, and other clinical findings. Specialist assessment helps determine the appropriate preventive treatment.
