electrophysiologist
Arrhythmia treatment doctor
An electrophysiologist is a medical specialist who studies and treats disorders of the heart's electrical system.
The field focuses on abnormal heart rhythms—arrhythmias—using diagnostic procedures and interventions like catheter ablation and pacemaker implantation.
The electrophysiologist recommended a procedure to correct my atrial fibrillation.
