Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Services in Dombivli

• Bradycardia: Bradycardia is characterised by a slow heart rate and is often caused by delays or blockages in the heart’s electrical conduction pathways. Mild cases may not require treatment, while more severe cases may need pacemaker implantation.
• Tachycardia: Tachycardia is characterised by a fast heart rate and may arise from ventricular or supraventricular origins. Mild cases may not require treatment, while more severe cases may need medication or a radiofrequency ablation procedure to regulate heart rate. In certain patients with ventricular tachyarrhythmias, implantation of a defibrillator may be required to restore normal heart rhythm.

You may be referred to a cardiac electrophysiologist for further evaluation if you are:

• Experiencing heart palpitations, dizziness, or fainting
• Showing slow or fast abnormal heart rhythms on an ECG
• Diagnosed with atrial fibrillation on an EKG
• A survivor of sudden cardiac arrest
• Experiencing reduced heart function, with a recommendation for a combination device or an implantable cardiac defibrillator

Cardiac electrophysiology and pacing specialists focus on disorders related to heart rhythm and electrical signalling. Conditions managed include:

• Bradycardia
• Supraventricular tachycardia, atrial tachycardia, AV nodal re-entrant tachycardia, AV re-entrant tachycardia, and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
• Ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia
• Syncope
• Heart failure patients requiring cardiac resynchronisation therapy
• Survivors of cardiac arrest
• Familial arrhythmia syndromes such as arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, early repolarisation, Brugada syndrome, catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, idiopathic ventricular fibrillation, long QT syndrome, and short QT syndrome
• Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome

Care for arrhythmia extends beyond diagnosis and focuses on helping patients regain stability and quality of life. Treatment options include catheter ablation and implantation of cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs), which are established therapies offered as part of electrophysiology and arrhythmia treatment in Dombivli.
