Electrophysiology refers to the specialized diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect the heart’s electrical system. When the electrical signals that control your heartbeat are disrupted, they can cause your heart to beat too quickly, too slowly or irregularly. These conditions may lead to symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, shortness of breath or syncope, which is an unexplained loss of consciousness. Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates provides advanced electrophysiology care for patients with both occasional rhythm concerns and more complex heart rhythm disorders.
Some of the most common electrophysiology conditions we treat include:
- Atrial fibrillation
- Heart arrhythmia
- Palpitations
- Syncope (unexplained loss of consciousness)
- Electrophysiology diagnosis and treatment
When you come to Aurora Denver Cardiology Associates for electrophysiology care, our team works to create an accurate diagnosis through a careful physical assessment, detailed health history and appropriate heart rhythm testing. Depending on your symptoms and condition, this may include electrocardiograms, electrophysiology studies, event monitors or Holter monitors. Once we understand the cause of your symptoms and how your heart rhythm is being affected, we partner with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Our team works closely with you and your loved ones to create a treatment plan for your heart rhythm condition that focuses on symptom relief, improved heart function and long-term heart health.
