Electrophysiology

Electrophysiologists here use electrophysiology successfully for differetn types of arrhythmias. With the accessory pathway and dual AV nodal pathway Supraventricular can be treated with upto 90% success and even Atrial flutter can also be cured.

The common cause of sudden cardiac death are Venticular tacharrhythmias. There are large number of cases that show immediate death of patients after they get myocardial infarction (heart attack) due to fatal ventricular tachycardias. Many patients are at high risk of sudden cardiac death because of poor functioning of heart whose Ejection Fraction < 40%. EP study investigates such patients and if required the y are provided with a life saving device named implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD). There is a tie between Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and Passaic General Hospital, New Jersey to provide the expensive devices at much lower cost.

For the patients of heart failure and Dilated Cardiomypathy Apollo Hospital has the means for multisided pacing. For Intermittent Atrial Fibrillation recently the hospital had a Bilateral pacing.
