Dr Vivek Chaturvedi, Senior Consultant, Cardiology and Director Cardiac Electrophysiology and Pacing, Narayana Superspeciality Hospital said, “Consequences of palpitations range from harmless fluttering to life threatening events like sudden death. Cardiac electrophysiology and pacing is a sub-branch of cardiology dealing with electrical problems of the heart and their treatments. These electrical problems can lead to fast and irregular heartbeats as well as slow heartbeats causing symptoms like palpitations, dizziness, fainting, sudden death and heart failure.
While slow heart rates are routinely treated with pacemakers, certain advanced pacemakers, available in Narayana Superspeciality Hospital can also be used to give shocks for dangerous heart rhythms, as well as correct some types of advanced heart failure. Fast and/or irregular heartbeats are diagnosed by various procedures including Electrophysiological study (EPS). On the other hand for permanent elimination of fast and /or irregular heartbeats, a highly effective and safe procedure called radio- frequency ablation (RFA) is also done by him at the Narayana Superspeciality Hospital this procedure is highly specialized and done at very few centers across India.”
