Electrophysiology is the evaluation of the electrical conducting system of the heart.
Normal function of the electrical conducting system is required to maintain coordinated contraction of the heart chambers at an appropriate rate. Abnormalities of the electrical conducting system in children result in arrhythmias: irregular heart rhythms and inappropriately rapid or slow heart rates, which manifest as symptoms of palpitations, lightheadedness, weakness, fatigue, or fainting. Pacemakers and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators (ICDs) are used to control a variety of rhythm disorders.
Children’s Heart Center Nevada performs over 100 procedures and clinical visits each year. Our services include radio-frequency ablation, cardioversion of SVT, V-tach and all complex arrhythmias. We place permanent pacemakers, and implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) and perform pacemaker checks.
