title: [Electrophysiology: indications for and results in programmed stimulation].
abstract: Since the early seventies electrophysiology is a diagnostic tool to evaluate mechanisms of arrhythmias and to control drug therapy. Advances in technology have led to newer methods, such as radiofrequency ablation and the use of implantable defibrillators. These techniques as well as their diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic indications will be discussed.
