The electrocardiogram (ECG) is a diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of the heart to test for any kind of pathology. It also constitu ...

Electrophysiology study

Electrophysiological study is used to detect cardiac abnormalities by observing the electrical activity of the heart. It is performed by inserting catheters in the area (usually the neck or groin) through which electrodes are passed to the body, directed towards the heart by radioscopy. This way it is possible to permanently analyse the activity of the cardiac muscle and to recognise the causes of the cardiac abnormality of each patient. This therapeutic electrophysiological study can cause discomfort in the area of puncture and there is the risk of causing palpitations. In the event this occurs, an electric shock should be performed in the area to address the problem and continue the process. ...

Pacemaker

A pacemaker is an electronic device that generates electrical impulses for the heart, designed for people with irregular heartbeats. The artificial pacemaker is a cardiac pacing system that controls and monitors the cardiac electrical activity and causes electrical impulses to be triggered. There are two types of pacemakers: temporary and permanent. Implanting the permanent pacemaker is done by subcutaneous implantation of the generator, while the temporary pacemaker generator is not implanted in the patient and can be done transcutaneously or intravenously. ...
