When the septum, or wall, dividing the heart’s lower chambers becomes thicker than normal, septal ablation comes into play. The procedure corrects the problem so blood is able to reach the heart easily. This happens by injecting alcohol into the arteries that feed the stepum, thinning the septum and allowing the heart to operate more […]

Electrophysiology Study
Electrophysiology studies, performed in the cardiac cath lab, are used to assess and diagnose abnormal heart rhythms and rates. One or more than one specialized EP catheters is introduced into the heart. While there, the catheter sends small electrical impulses to the heart. Depending on how the heart responds to these electrical impulses, EP catheters […]
