Cardiac Electrophysiology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and other heart-related issues. At its core, it relies on understanding how electrical signals in the heart cause it to beat and how any abnormalities in this process can lead to arrhythmia. Cardiac Electrophysiologists in Houston are highly trained professionals who use a variety of diagnostic tests to diagnose and treat these conditions.

Diagnostic tests such as electrocardiograms (EKGs), echocardiograms, and stress tests can be used to identify arrhythmias. An EKG measures the electrical activity of your heart, while an echocardiogram uses sound waves to produce images of your heart’s chambers and valves. A stress test can assess how well your heart responds to physical activity.
