Overview

United CIIGMA Hospital, the first and only NABH accredited hospital in Marathwada has again taken the first initiative to start an Electrophysiology unit in the whole region.

Electrophysiology is a subspecialty of Cardiology which deals with the disorders of heart rhythm. Till date, such patients from our region had to travel all the way to Mumbai for their treatment. United CIIGMA team realised this need and decided to launch a full-fledged Electrophysiology unit. UCH procured the latest and advanced Workmate Claris GP lab from St. Jude, USA. The unit has been installed and successfully treated initial few patients suffering from heart rhythm disorders.

EP study will help in the diagnosis and management of following disorders-

• Supraventricular tachycardia
• Atrial flutter
• Atrial fibrillation
• Ventricular tachycordia
• Recurrent syncope

About Cardiology

• Cardiology is a branch of medicine dealing with disorders of the heart as well as parts of the circulatory system. The field includes medical diagnosis and treatment of congenital heart defects, coronary artery disease, heart failure, valvular heart disease and electrophysiology. Physicians who specialize in this field of medicine are called cardiologists, a specialty of internal medicine. Pediatric cardiologists are pediatricians who specialize in cardiology. Physicians who specialize in cardiac surgery are called cardiothoracic surgeons or cardiac surgeons, a specialty of general surgery.
• Although the cardiovascular system is inextricably linked to blood, cardiology is relatively unconcerned with hematology and its diseases. Some obvious exceptions that affect the function of the heart would be blood tests (electrolyte disturbances, troponins), decreased oxygen carrying capacity (anemia, hypovolemic shock), and coagulopathies.
