Cardiac Electrophysiology Unit at Clínica Girona: Experts in your heart's rhythm
In the Cardiac Electrophysiology Unit at Clínica Girona, we are specialists in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrhythmias, which are alterations to the heart's normal rhythm. Our team, made up of highly qualified and specialised professionals, uses the Advanced technologies to accurately identify the origin of the arrhythmia and offer effective solutions to restore optimal heart rhythm.
We understand that arrhythmias can cause concern, palpitations, dizziness, or even fainting, affecting your quality of life. Our commitment is to offer you comprehensive care, with an accurate diagnosis and a Personalised treatment plan, so that its heart can beat normally and safely again.
Evidence
- Electrophysiological Study (EPS) A precise procedure for analysing the electrical activity of the heart, identifying the origin of the arrhythmia and determining the best treatment.
- Radiofrequency Ablation or Cryoablation Minimally invasive techniques that use heat (radiofrequency) or cold (cryoablation) to "switch off" the areas of the heart responsible for generating or perpetuating the arrhythmia. This technique is very effective in treating:
- Atrial fibrillation.
- Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT).
- Fluttering ear.
- Ventricular tachycardias.
- Pacemaker Implant Placement of small devices that help regulate the heart rate in patients with bradycardia (slow rhythms).
- Implantable Automated Defibrillator (IAD) Implants: Devices that detect and treat serious ventricular arrhythmias to prevent sudden death.
- Cardiac Resynchronisation Therapy (CRT) Implants: Special pacemakers for patients with heart failure that improve heartbeat coordination.
- Monitoring and reprogramming of implantable cardiac devices (pacemakers, ICDs, CRT).
- Electrical cardioversion Procedure for restoring normal heart rhythm in certain types of arrhythmias.
- Subcutaneous holter This is a small subcutaneous monitor that continuously records heart activity automatically or with a manual activator.
