Cardiac Electrophysiology
Norman Regional’s cardiovascular team is now home to a cardiac electrophysiologist Robin Singh, MD, located at Norman Regional’s Heart & Vascular Associates, Heart Plaza.
An electrophysiologist is a heart specialist with expertise in the heart's electrical system, ensuring proper heart rhythm and function. They diagnose and treat conduction issues, distinguishing between harmless and dangerous irregular rhythms.
Determining Your Cardiology Needs
Wondering whether to consult a general cardiologist or a cardiac electrophysiologist? Your heart health team will collaborate to assess if your diagnosis is vascular or related to the heart's electrical system. This ensures you receive specialized care tailored to your unique needs.
Understanding Electrophysiology
Electrophysiology is the study of the heart's electrical conduction system
and associated dysrhythmias. Dr. Singh aims to enhance heart efficiency
by finely tuning the conduction system.
An electrophysiologist is a heart specialist with expertise in the heart's electrical system, ensuring proper heart rhythm and function. They diagnose and treat conduction issues, distinguishing between harmless and dangerous irregular rhythms.
By pinpointing the cause of electrical problems, they can effectively treat them, significantly improving patients' quality of life.
Electrophysiologists are specialized cardiologists who focus on the heart's electrical system, while general cardiologists treat a broader range of heart disorders and diseases.
State-of-the-Art Electrophysiology Cath Lab
Dr. Robin Singh's electrophysiology cath lab will employ cutting-edge technology. The lab features a 3D mapping system based on magnetic resistance, allowing Dr. Singh to create a detailed 3D model of the atrium or ventricle and map electrical signals simultaneously.
While a general/vascular cath lab focuses on heart vessel blockages, the electrophysiology cath lab scrutinizes the heart's conduction system for associated issues. This integrated approach ensures comprehensive care that has named us a Center of Excellence for cardio care.
Collaborative Care for Optimal Results
Depending on your heart's condition, your care team may include both a general cardiologist and an electrophysiologist like Dr. Singh. Having all services in one location streamlines communication and decision-making for better patient outcomes.
