Electrophysiology

An electrophysiology evaluation can determine the cause of symptoms such as light-headedness, a slow or racing heartbeat, or shortness of breath. These can all be symptoms of a heart arrhythmia, a condition where the electrical impulses in your heart cause it to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly. Patients with certain kinds of arrhythmia are at an increased risk for blood clots and stroke.

If your heart arrhythmia symptoms are frequent and cannot be controlled with medication, you may need an electrophysiology procedure, such as ablation or an implanted device, to better control your arrhythmia. MCA will be working closely with regional Electrophysiologists for your advanced care needs.
