Our heart's electrical system is complex and plays a vital role in maintaining a healthy heartbeat. When this system malfunctions, it can lead to irregular heart rhythms, causing a variety of symptoms and health risks. This is where cardiac electrophysiologists step in.

Electrophysiologists are cardiologists that specialize in understanding your heart’s rhythm. One of the most common heart rhythm disorders is atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation disrupts the normal rhythm of the heart. Although the symptoms vary by case, some of the common symptoms include:

  • Fatigue

  • Shortness of breath

  • Reduced activity levels

  • Heart palpitations

  • Chest pain

Electrophysiologists offer a range of treatment options from medications to minimally invasive procedures, to help alleviate symptoms and restore heart rhythm. To learn more information, visit chistvincent.com
