Electrophysiology
The electrical impulses of the heart cause it to contract and relax. 这使得心脏能够将血液输送到全身和重要器官. 不规则或不正常的电脉冲会导致心脏跳动过慢或过快. 这些电性心律异常被称为心律失常. 电生理学侧重于心律失常和其他与心脏电系统相关的心律紊乱的诊断和治疗.
博彩推荐的电生理学(EP)实验室配备了最新的技术来诊断和治疗一系列异常心律状况. 我们的团队经过专门培训,可以执行各种旨在监测的微创手术, manage, and cure rhythm abnormalities.
Conditions We Manage and Treat
Arrhythmias
心律失常可能是最常见的电脉冲情况. They can be harmless, serious or even life-threatening conditions. 心律失常的影响很大程度上取决于心脏的结构状况 heart, as well as the presence of heart disease. 心律失常的警告信号包括心悸、跳频、飘动、缓慢 heartbeat (Bradycardias), rapid heart心跳(心动过速),不能忍受运动或努力,昏厥或几乎昏厥.
Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
心脏疾病常影响心室以上的心房区域,导致血压升高 heartbeat. The atria of the heart receives blood returning to the heart from other areas of the body.
-
-
- Atrial fibrillation: Irregular and often rapid heart rate that commonly causes poor blow flow to the body.
- Atrial flutter: Overly rapid regular contraction of the atrium of the heart.
- Atrioventricular nodal reentry tachycardia (AVNRT): AVNRT is the most common form of SVT. In patients with this condition, 房室结分为两条纵向通路,形成重入回路. AVNRT是由电路的慢速和快速通路之间的电流循环运动引起的. 慢速通道和快速通道允许房室结接收多个信号,从而引起快速 heartbeat. 这种情况通常耐受性良好,通常发生在没有结构性疾病的患者身上 heart disease. AVNRT accounts for 80-90% of all SVTs.
- Atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia (AVRT)AVRT是第二常见的SVT类型,约占所有SVT的30%. 患有AVNRT的患者在出生时就有一个额外的,异常的电连接 heart. The extra connection joins one of the upper chambers of the heart (atria) with one of the lower chambers (ventricles). AVRT occurs when the heart 由于上下心室之间有额外的电通路,心跳过快.
- Junctional (AV Nodal) tachycardia交界性心动过速可为暂时性(自动交界性心动过速)或持续性(交界性再入性心动过速), PJRT). 自动交界性心动过速可由药物毒性或未知原因引起.

Ventricle Tachycardia (VT)
Ventricle tachycardia (VT) is a rapid heart心跳开始于心室,将血液泵出心脏的肌肉室 heart to the lungs and other organs.
-
-
- Inheritable cardiac disease
-
- 心律失常性右心室发育不良/心肌病(ARVD/ARVC)一种导致右心室心肌被纤维性心肌取代的遗传性疾病, fatty issue. 由此产生的心律失常可导致心悸或意识丧失.
- Brugada Syndrome一种以心电图异常和猝死风险增加为特征的遗传性疾病.
- Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT): a rare condition causing the heart 心跳在身体活动或情绪高涨时异常快速地跳动,但没有显示出大脑的结构性问题 heart. The rapid heartbeat may cause dizziness, loss of consciousness or sudden death.
- Long QT Syndrome: a heart rhythm disorder that can cause fast, chaotic heartbeats. The rapid heartbeats may result in sudden fainting.
- Non-Compaction Cardiomyopathies: a heart 一种影响左心室肌壁的肌肉状况,导致左心室肌壁不致密,并由称为小梁的肌束网组成.
-
- Premature ventricular contractions (PVC): PVCs are abnormal heartbeats that occur in one of the heart's ventricles earlier than the next expected beat. PVCs are common and can feel as if your heart skipped beat.
- Risk for sudden death
-
- Cardiomyopathy: Weakening or change in the heart muscle that occurs when the heart cannot pump blood as it should or has difficulty with other heart functions.
- Coronary heart disease (CAD)为心脏供血和供氧的小血管变窄 heart.
-
- Inheritable cardiac disease
-
Bradycardia
Contrary to tachycardia, bradycardia is a slow or irregular heart rhythm typically fewer than 60 beats per minute. The slowed heart 心率会导致血液流向身体的减少,并可能导致头晕, lack of energy, 昏厥在正常活动或运动期间呼吸急促或昏厥. 心内电解剖测图可用于诊断心脏的问题区域 heart, and devices such as pacemakers can be used for treatment.
Procedures and Treatments
Electrophysiology Study
电生理学(EP)研究是一项记录你的脑电活动的测试 heart. 这个测试是用来帮助确定你的节奏紊乱的原因 heart may be having and can also determine the origin of the problem. After having this test done, 医生会对你的病情有更好的了解,也会为你找到最好的治疗方法.
我们先进的心律失常管理团队在最先进的实验室工作,为我们的患者提供最高质量的护理.
Cardiac Ablation
心脏消融术是一种非手术手术,其中一根薄的柔性导管, called a therapeutic catheter, is inserted into a vessel in the groin and threaded up into the heart. 热量或冷却剂通过导管传送,以熄灭引起心律失常的电触发和电路.
Pacemaker Implants
起搏器可用于治疗心动过缓,包括窦结疾病和传导疾病引起的心动过缓. Pacemakers monitor and regulate the rhythm of the heart and transmit electrical impulses to stimulate the heart if it is beating too slowly. Pacemakers offer single and dual chamber options, minimize ventricular pacing, rate response, and mode switching.
Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) Implants
这些除颤器用于心脏性猝死的一级和二级预防. 所有的除颤器都有起搏功能,并帮助找到心脏的平衡 heart. icd在阻止危及生命的心律失常方面有99%的有效性,是治疗心室颤动最成功的方法, the major cause of sudden cardiac death. ICDs continuously monitor the heart rhythm, automatically function as pacemakers for the heart 速度太慢,如果速度快到危险的程度,可能会带来挽救生命的冲击 heart rhythm is detected.
Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (Biventricular Pacing)
This therapy is used for patients with heart failure. The inserted device can be a defibrillator or just a pacer. 植入的装置对心脏的左心室和右心室(下心室)进行定速 heart simultaneously. 这使肌肉收缩重新同步,并提高了被削弱的效率 heart.
