If you have ever felt that your heart is racing as if you were running a marathon while just sitting, your heart rate may be trying to tell you something important.

But hold on there! Don't self-diagnose so quickly. As my grandmother says: "Let the shoemaker stick to his last". In this case, we need the experts in heart rhythms: electrophysiologists.




What is an electrophysiologist and what do they do?




First, let's clarify the term "electrophysiologist." These are the geniuses of cardiology specialized in the electrical disorders of the heart. Yes, you heard right: the heart not only beats, it also has its own electric concert directing the orchestra!

These doctors can diagnose and treat complex heart rhythm conditions, ensuring that your "rockstar heart" stays in rhythm.

Why is it important to consult an electrophysiologist?

Have you ever wondered why so many people need pacemakers? According to Dr. Rakesh Sarkar, a boss in cardiology and electrophysiology in India, 40% of cardiac patients in that country show signs of heart rhythm disorders.

Furthermore, 90% of cardiac arrests are caused by arrhythmias, or irregular heart rhythms. Despite these alarming numbers, many patients still lack a proper diagnosis. Not every rhythm anomaly requires a pacemaker, and this is where the electrophysiologist comes in to make an accurate diagnosis.





What can happen if you do not consult an electrophysiologist?




Imagine consulting only with a general doctor after an ECG (electrocardiogram). They may suggest a pacemaker, but it may not be the best solution. An electrophysiologist would conduct a more detailed evaluation, reviewing your medical history, symptoms, and performing a series of non-invasive tests to truly understand what is happening.

What does an electrophysiologist evaluation include?

1. Review of medical history: They consider your previous heart conditions, surgeries, and current medications.

2. Symptom analysis: They correlate palpitations, dizziness, or fainting with possible electrical problems in the heart.

3. Advanced tests: They use electrophysiological studies to determine the exact nature of the problem, ensuring treatment based on precise information.

4. Personalized treatment: They recommend the most appropriate therapy, whether it be with medication, radiofrequency ablation (RFA), pacemakers, or other implantable devices.

5. Follow-up: They make adjustments to medications and provide advice on diet, exercise, and lifestyle to optimize heart health and treatment effectiveness.

And what about the pacemaker?



In addition to deciding if you really need a pacemaker, electrophysiologists also provide a detailed risk assessment and management plan. This includes thorough preoperative preparations and postoperative care to prevent complications and ensure the device works optimally in the long term.
So, why trust an electrophysiologist?
The short answer is: because they know what they're doing! They ensure you receive highly personalized care and that all aspects of your heart health are covered. With their expertise, they not only improve treatment outcomes but also optimize your recovery and tailor everything to your specific needs.
So, have you checked your heart rate lately? Perhaps it's the perfect time to consult an electrophysiologist and make sure your heart keeps beating as it should. Your heart will thank you!
