Patients experiencing palpitations, fluttering or racing heartbeats may benefit from Genesis Electrophysiology services. Arrhythmias can sometimes occur in a healthy heart and be of minimal consequence, but they can sometimes indicate a serious problem that can lead to heart disease, stroke or sudden death. Cardiac electrophysiology is the diagnosis and treatment of those abnormal heart rate and rhythms.
Shaun Bhatty, M.D., Discusses Atrial Fibrillation
The most common type of arrhythmia is atrial fibrillation (A-Fib) and is the result of the top portion or atria of the heart beating out of rhythm. An electrophysiology (EP) study is used to diagnosis the type and severity of arrhythmias.
We treat a variety of conditions for patients including:
Arrhythmias
Atrial Fibrillation (A-Fib)
Bradycardia
Long QT syndrome
Sudden cardiac arrest
Supraventricular tachycardia
Tachycardia
Ventricular fibrillation
Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome
Treatment can involve many different therapies from medications, to devices to control your heart beat, to catheter based procedures called ablations. Genesis treatments, procedures and device implantations include:
