Cardiac electrophysiology is the science of the electrical conduction system of the heart. It is concerned with the normal and abnormal transmission of impulses from the cardiac pacemaker and its influence on contraction of the myocardium (the muscle of the heart). A specialist in cardiac electrophysiology is known as a cardiac electrophysiologist, or (more commonly) simply an electrophysiologist. ...

| cardiac catheterization |
Bilateral A cardiac catheterization is a test that helps the cardiologist locate narrowed or clogged arteries in the heart, check the condition of the heart valves and evaluate overall heart function. In this procedure, a very narrow tube called a catheter is put into the femoral artery and threaded up into the heart. Once the catheter reaches the heart, the doctor (usually a cardiologist) puts a special dye in the catheter to help the doctor determine the condition of the blood vessels. ...
