As the the blood flow through the c

Electrophysiology Study (EPS) treatments abroad  An electrophysiology (EP) study is a test used to understand and map the electrical activity within your heart. An EP study may be recommended in people with heart rhythm problems (arrhythmias) and other heart problems to understand the exact cause and determine which treatment is most likely to be effective. Doctors also use EP studies to predict the risk of sudden cardiac death in certain situations. An EP study involves placing diagn

Temporary Pacemaker treatments abroad  Temporary cardiac pacing is the use of an electrical device called a pacemaker to help your heart beat regularly while you are in the hospital. Wires connect the pacemaker to your heart. The pacemaker uses wires to deliver electrical signals to your heart, if needed. The electric signals cause your heart to beat in a regular pattern. WHEN IS IT USED? Temporary cardiac pacing may be used to control your heart rate when: A heart attack damages t
