Cardiac electrophysiology is a specialized field within cardiology that focuses entirely on the electrical activity of the heart. At Emirates Hospital Jumeirah our Electrophysiology Clinic in Dubai is run by Dr Khaled Sabeh our American Board-Certified Consultant Cardiologist and Cardiac Electrophysiologist. Dr Khaled is regarded as one of the best electrophysiologists in Dubai.

Electrophysiologists are medical professionals with additional training who specialize in diagnosing and treating disorders related to the electrical activity of the cells and tissues in the heart.

When should you see an Electrophysiologist

When your heart rhythm or beat becomes irregular it’s known as an arrythmia and this may cause a number of symptoms such as:

  • Heart Palpitations – unpleasant fluttering sensations in your chest,
  • Irregular Heartbeat – Feeling like your heart is skipping a beat, racing, or fluttering irregularly Chest Pain
  • Shortness of Breath
  • Fainting (Syncope)
  • Dizziness
  • Unexplained Fatigue

EP Study in Dubai at Emirates Hospital Jumeirah

An EP study (Electrophysiology Study) is a specialized minimally invasive test to diagnose and in some circumstances treat abnormal heart rhythms. An EP study provides a detailed electrical map of your heart’s activity.

The EP Study Procedure

The EP procedure is performed in a hospital setting. A thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a vein or artery, usually in the groin or arm, and guided with fluoroscopy (special X-ray imaging) to reach your heart.

Once positioned, the catheter tip has tiny electrodes that record the electrical signals traveling through your heart chambers. This creates a detailed picture of how electrical impulses originate and spread throughout your heart, helping pinpoint the source of any arrhythmia.

Sometimes, our electrophysiologist may use the electrodes to carefully stimulate your heart with low-level electrical pulses. This can help trigger an arrhythmia if it wasn’t present during the initial recording, allowing for a more precise diagnosis.

Electrophysiology Treatment in Dubai at Emirates Hospitals Group

If you are diagnosed with an arrythmia there are a number of different treatment options ranging from medical management to interventions. The main treatment options are:

Medications

Antiarrhythmic drugs are the most common treatment option for many arrhythmias. These medications help to regulate the electrical activity and restore a normal heart rhythm.

Catheter Ablation

This minimally invasive procedure involves threading a thin catheter with electrodes into the heart. The electrodes can then deliver radiofrequency energy or extreme cold to destroy a small area of tissue causing the abnormal electrical signals. This effectively disrupts the faulty electrical pathway, restoring a normal rhythm.

Pacemakers and Defibrillators

For some arrhythmias, implantable devices such as pacemakers or ICDs (implantable cardioverter-defibrillators) may be necessary. The Emirates Hospitals Pacemaker Clinic provides a comprehensive pacemaker service for the region. Pacemakers provide electrical stimulation to maintain a regular heart rhythm, while ICDs monitor the heart rate and deliver a shock to restore a normal rhythm if a life-threatening arrhythmia occurs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Electrophysiology is a branch of cardiology that focuses on studying and treating electrical abnormalities in the heart. This involves diagnosing and managing various heart rhythm disorders, such as atrial fibrillation, through procedures like electrophysiology studies (EPS) and catheter based ablation. Emirates Hospital Jumeirah in Dubai is equipped with advanced EP equipment and the leading Electrophysiologist in Dubai.

An Electrophysiology Study is performed to diagnose and evaluate arrhythmias/heart rhythm abnormalities often when patients are symptomatic with palpitations, dizziness, feinting. It helps identify the specific type of arrhythmia, its location, and severity, which guides treatment decisions.

Dr Khaled Sabeh is a US Board Certified Cardiac Electrophysiologist and Consultant Cardiologist who gained his fellowships and training and prestigious US institutions such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts General Hospital which is ranked as the No #2 hospital in the world. Dr Khaled Sabeh is considered one of the best electrophysiologists in Dubai.

The treatment options for heart rhythm disorders vary based on the type and severity of the arrhythmia. Medications to control heart rhythms maybe an option, however catheter ablation and implantation of devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators to regulate and monitor heart rhythms maybe the best option.

Electrophysiology procedures, including EPS and ablation, are generally safe when performed by experienced Electrophysiologists such as Dr Khaled Sabeh at Emirates Hospital Jumeirah. As with any procedure there are potential risks and complications that would be discussed with you before any procedure takes place.

An electrophysiologist is a cardiologist with specialized training in diagnosing and treating heart rhythm disorders such as arrythmia. Patients often see an electrophysiologist when they have symptoms such as palpitations, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, or fainting.
