Specialties and Care Approach
Clinical cardiac electrophysiology focuses on abnormal heart rhythms and the electrical signals controlling the heartbeat. Evaluation may include an electrocardiogram, wearable monitor, imaging, implanted recorder, or electrophysiology study. Depending on the diagnosis and symptoms, treatment may involve medication, cardioversion, catheter ablation, a pacemaker, or a defibrillator.
Dr. Woodruff considers symptoms, heart function, stroke risk, other medical conditions, and patient preferences. When a procedure or implanted device is considered, patients can discuss its benefits, alternatives, risks, recovery, and follow-up. Device checks and rhythm monitoring may remain important after treatment.
