Clinical cardiac electrophysiology

Advanced training in cardiovascular disease is represented by clinical cardiac electrophysiology, which focuses on managing complex cardiac electro physiologic heart disease. These internists, who are frequently referred to as "electro physiologists," have received training in the mechanism, purpose, and execution of the electrical activities of the heart. Electro physiologists assess patients with severe heart rhythm abnormalities and provide management support (arrhythmias). They have received training in both invasive and noninvasive diagnostic techniques, including tilt-table testing and electro physiologic tests, as well as how to treat arrhythmias using interventional techniques, medicine, and devices like pacemakers and cardioverters (such as catheter ablation). Cardiologists that specialize in cardiac electrophysiology frequently work in hospitals and clinics where these problems are identified and treated
