title: Electrophysiology and ablation of arrhythmias.
abstract: Major advances in diagnosis and treatment of arrhythmias have created the subspecialty of cardiac electrophysiology. This article reviews supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias and outlines the indications and process of electrophysiological testing, arrhythmia mechanism and their treatment by catheter ablation.
