2. Cardiac electrophysiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_electrophysiology

   Drawing of the ECG, with labels of intervals. Cardiac electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology and basic science focusing on the electrical activities of the heart.The term is usually used in clinical context, to describe studies of such phenomena by invasive (intracardiac) catheter recording of spontaneous activity as well as of cardiac responses to programmed electrical stimulation ...

3. Clinical cardiac electrophysiology - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_cardiac...

   Electrophysiologists are trained in the mechanism, function, and performance of the electrical activities of the heart. Electrophysiologists work closely with other cardiologists and cardiac surgeons to assist or guide therapy for heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias). They are trained to perform interventional and surgical procedures to ...

4. Defibrillation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defibrillation

   Defibrillation is a treatment for life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias, specifically ventricular fibrillation (V-Fib) and non-perfusing ventricular tachycardia (V-Tach). [1] [2] A defibrillator delivers a dose of electric current (often called a counter-shock) to the heart.

5. LIRYC - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LIRYC

   Cardiovascular disease is the primary cause of mortality in the world, [3] accounting for 30% of deaths, followed by communicable, maternal, neonatal and nutrition conditions (23%) [4] and cancer (13%). [5] Cardiac electrical diseases are responsible for more than 700,000 deaths each year in Europe. Atrial fibrillation ECG

6. Arrhythmia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhythmia

   Anyone can be affected by this because overall health does not play a role in the problem. Problems with the electrical pathway of the heart can cause very fast or even deadly arrhythmias. Wolff–Parkinson–White syndrome is due to an extra pathway in the heart that is made up of electrical muscle tissue. This tissue allows the electrical ...

7. Catheter ablation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catheter_ablation

   Catheter ablation is a procedure that uses radio-frequency energy or other sources to terminate or modify a faulty electrical pathway from sections of the heart of those who are prone to developing cardiac arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.

8. Accessory pathway - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accessory_pathway

   In cardiology, an accessory pathway is an additional electrical connection between two parts of the heart. [1] These pathways can lead to abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias) associated with symptoms of palpitations.

9. Ventricular assist device - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ventricular_assist_device

   The LVAD is the most common device applied to a defective heart (it is sufficient in most cases; the right side of the heart is then often able to make use of the heavily increased blood flow), but when the pulmonary arterial resistance is high, then an (additional) right ventricular assist device (RVAD) might be necessary to resolve the ...
