A field focusing on the electricity of the heart and its functionality. Specialists in the field will help in the diagnosis and treatment as well.
The study of the heart's electrical system; a sub-specialty within cardiology.
management of the consequences of electrical phenomena in the body; specifically the electrical activity of the heart
(EP) test or study: a test where wires are inserted into your heart to identify and measure the type of electrical signals in your heart. The test results can help your doctor recognize your abnormal heart rhythm, determine how well medications work, and decide what treatment is best. The test also can be used to see how well your AICD system operates during your abnormal heart rhythm.
The study of the electrical currents generated by living beings
The biomedical field dealing with the study of electric activity in the body. Electrophysiology includes the study of the production of electrical activity and the effects of that electrical activity on the body. See, for example: Electrophysiologic retinal testing ; and Electrophysiologic study of the heart.
The study of the electrical conduction system of the heart.
the branch of science concerned with electrical phenomena that are associated with physiologic processes.
An electrophysiologist is a cardiologist who has received additional specialized training in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders. These specialists treat and correct the electrical activity of the heart.
Electrophysiology is the study of the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues. It involves measurements of voltage change or electrical current flow on a wide variety of scales from single ion channel proteins, to whole tissues like the heart. In neuroscience, it includes measurements of the electrical activity of neurons, and particularly action potential activity.
