Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The field of clinical electrophysiology has broadened significantly in the last several years, spawning a new discipline known as Interventional or Therapeutic Electrophysiology. In the United States, Electrophysiology has its own training path and accreditation requirements. One of the reasons for the growth of interest in electrophysiology is the exciting introduction of nonpharmacologic methods of arrhythmia therapy, including curative radiofrequency catheter ablation and implanted devices for antitachycardia pacing/defibrillation. The arrhythmia specialist now has at his/her disposal a wide range of options for patients with symptomatic or life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias. |
