Track: Arrhythmias and Electrophysiology

An Arrhythmia, often known as an irregular heartbeat, is an issue with your heart's pace or rhythm. It means your heart is beating too fast, too slowly, or in an uneven manner. Most arrhythmias are harmless, but some are dangerous or even fatal. When the heartbeat is too fast, too slow, or irregular, the heart is unable to pump enough blood to the body.
Types of Arrhythmias:
- Atrial Fibrillation (AFib): Characterized by rapid and irregular beating of the atria, increasing the risk of stroke and heart failure.
- Ventricular Tachycardia (VT): A fast, abnormal heartbeat originating from the ventricles, which can lead to severe symptoms or sudden cardiac arrest.
- Bradycardia: Abnormally slow heart rate that can result in dizziness, fatigue, and, in severe cases, heart block.
- Premature Ventricular Contractions (PVCs): Extra, abnormal heartbeats originating in the ventricles, often felt as palpitations.
Cardiac electrophysiology is a specialist subject that studies the electrical system of the heart as well as the detection and treatment of arrhythmias, which are irregular heart beats. This discipline combines advanced diagnostics like electrocardiography (ECG), intracardiac mapping, and electrophysiological research with cutting-edge therapies like catheter ablation and device implantation (pacemakers, implantable cardioverter defibrillators). The expanding understanding of the heart's electrical activity, combined with advancements such as 3D mapping, AI-assisted rhythm analysis, and non-invasive ablation technologies, is transforming the arrhythmia management landscape and improving patient outcomes.
