Pediatric Cardiac Electrophysiology

Pediatric cardiac electrophysiology is a specialized area of pediatric cardiology that focuses on the electrical system of the heart in children. It involves diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders, such as palpitations or fainting. Doctors use tests like electrocardiograms (ECGs) to understand how the heart beats and to identify any irregularities. Treatments may include medications, catheter ablation (a procedure to fix abnormal pathways), or the use of pacemakers. The goal is to ensure a healthy and stable heartbeat, helping children lead active, healthy lives.
