Electrophysiologist
An electrophysiologist is a special type of cardiologist who focuses on heartbeat irregularities. Our specialists are board-certified in electrophysiology, which requires extensive education beyond medical school.
When should I see an electrophysiologist and do I need a referral?
See your primary care provider for any heart concerns and they will decide if you need a referral.
Role of an electrophysiologist
What does an electrophysiologist do?
These specialists will determine if you have an irregular rhythm and why. Tests may include:
- Advanced computer mapping system that provides a picture of the heart’s electrical layout
- Electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG)
- Holter monitor
How do they treat an irregular heart rhythm?
Depending on your condition, some options may include:
- Cardiac ablation
- Implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), to regulate the heart’s rhythms
- Medication
- Pacemaker
- WATCHMAN™ device
Conditions treated by electrophysiologists
There are a variety of conditions you may experience. A few examples include:
- Arrhythmia, disturbances in the rhythm of the heart’s electrical system
- Atrial fibrillation
- Cardiac arrhythmia
