Electrophysiology

What does this specialty do?

Electrophysiology is a subspecialty of cardiology dedicated to the study, diagnosis, and treatment of heart rhythm disorders (arrhythmias). It analyzes the heart's electrical activity to identify abnormalities that can cause symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or risk of sudden death. It treats adult and pediatric patients, using advanced technology to offer precise, safe, and, in many cases, curative treatments.

Diseases it treats

The Electrophysiology service comprehensively addresses cardiac rhythm disorders, including:

Tachyarrhythmias:
- Atrial fibrillation
- Auricular flutter
- Supraventricular tachycardias
Symptomatic bradycardias
Potentially serious ventricular arrhythmias
Channelopathies of genetic origin
Syncope of probable cardiac cause
Rhythm disturbances associated with:
- Heart failure
- Malfunction of implantable devices, such as pacemakers or defibrillators

Procedures and treatments

The service offers highly complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including:

Electrophysiological study with electroanatomical mapping to identify the origin of arrhythmias
Catheter ablation using:
- Radiofrequency
- Cryoablation
Pulmonary vein isolation
Modulation of the arrhythmic substrate
Device implantation, monitoring and reprogramming:
- Pacemaker
- Implantable cardiodefibrillators
- Cardiac resynchronization therapy
Percutaneous closure of the left atrial appendage to reduce the risk of thromboembolic events
