CaRi-heart technology
Revolutionary new technology to assess the risk of a serious heart condition or heart attack – many years before anything happens.
Our teams of EP specialists offer complete care for every type of abnormal heartbeat or arrhythmia. Your symptoms will include:
Cardiac electrophysiology looks specifically at the rhythm of your heart, and so an electrophysiologist is an expert in the heart’s electrical system that controls your heart’s rhythm. If there’s something wrong with the electrical sequence, your heart might beat with an irregular pattern, or go too fast or too slow.
You might feel heart palpitations, you might feel dizzy and tired, or you might not have any symptoms at all. Whatever the case, our specialists can explain whether it is something you can manage with medicines, or whether you would benefit from treatment like an ablation, a procedure to correct irregular heart rhythms.
Atrial fibrillation is a heart rhythm abnormality that affects over two million people in the UK and raises the risk of serious health complications, yet often goes undiagnosed.
Atrial flutter is an abnormal heart rhythm that increases the risks of a stroke and can weaken the heart muscle.
Atrial tachycardia is a form of supraventricular tachycardiac (SVT), an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia) that causes a sudden, rapid heart beat.
Cardioversion is a procedure used to restore a regular heart rhythm. If you have an arrhythmia, we offer rapid access to specialists and the most suitable treatment options.
