An arrhythmia simply refers to a disordered heartbeat in terms of the electrical signals produced by the heart, which causes palpitations, dizziness, fainting in many, and, very severely, sudden cardiac death. It may be classified based on source and type-for example, AFib, bradycardia, or slow heart rhythm; tachycardia, or fast heart rhythm; and ventricular arrhythmias, or a more dangerous kind of irregular heart rhythm.

Other areas of cardiac specialties include electrophysiology. Its focus is purely on diagnosis and therapy for the aforesaid diseases for heart rhythm. Electrocardiogram, continuous or Holter monitoring as well as other invasive studies such as electrophysiological can map out the path taken by the electrical conducting system of the heart through which physicians can perform treatment most appropriately.

Electrophysiologists, therefore improve the quality of life and minimize symptoms and risks accompanying heart rhythm disorders. Lifestyle interventions to minimize triggers, such as avoiding caffeine, managing one’s stress, and avoiding overweight conditions, are made to the patients. Together, all these create a very complete care plan that ensures that every patient obtains the most proper intervention their heart really needs.
