Electrophysiology-EP-and-Arrhythmia-Hero | WVU Medicine

Electrophysiology and Arrhythmia Care

At the WVU Heart and Vascular Institute, our Cardiac Electrophysiology (EP) team specializes in diagnosing and treating disorders of the heart’s electrical system – conditions that cause the heart to beat too fast, too slow, or irregularly. These abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias, can cause troubling symptoms and increase the risk of complications such as stroke, heart failure, or sudden cardiac death if left untreated.
