Matters of the Heart: Difference Between Cardiologist and Electrophysiologist

Text Says: Matters Of The Heart, Cardiologist And EP

Here at Heart Rhythm Consultants we are excited to announce the launch of a new video series called “Matters of the Heart.” In this new series, Dr. Mathew will discuss aspects of electrophysiology that may be confusing or are sometimes difficult to understand.

Each month we’ll break down a topic related to heart conditions and treatments so you can be better informed. If you have a topic suggestion or request for more information after watching a video, please contact us today.

This month, Dr. Mathew discusses the difference between a cardiologist and an electrophysiologist. These are two distinct practice areas, and as a patient you may have both a cardiologist and an electrophysiologist working with you on your specific heart matters.
