Pacing and Electrophysiology

Pacing and electrophysiology involve the study and management of the heart's electrical system. Pacing uses a small device called a pacemaker to send electrical signals that help the heart beat regularly when it’s too slow or irregular. Electrophysiology is the field that examines how the heart's electrical signals work, often using specialized tests and procedures to diagnose abnormal rhythms. This knowledge allows doctors to treat arrhythmias with medications, ablation procedures, or implantable devices, ensuring the heart maintains a normal and effective rhythm for proper circulation and overall health.
