| At our Departement of Electrophysiology all heart rhythm disorders either a fast, a slow or an irregular heartbeat are diagnosed and treated using minimal invasive catheter techniques (e.g.radiofrequency ablation).

The Electrophysiological studies are also performed due to arrhythmias which result in a loss of consciousness (syncope) or vertigo. In this case, microelectrode catheters are inserted in the heart via the femoral vein in the groin. These catheters give us the ability to read electrocardiograms from inside the heart. It is then possible to deliver electrical impulses to stimulate the heart , as well as to cauterize (ablate) additional conduction pathways or areas within the heart responsible for heart rhythm disorders.
