Which Doctor for Your A-Fib? The Plumber vs. The Electrician
The Plumber vs. the Electrician
“Cardiologists focus on the vascular function of the heart—think ‘plumber’. Electrophysiologists specialize in the electrical function— think ‘electrician’.
Atrial Fibrillation is an electrical problem. Don’t hire a plumber to fix an electrical problem.”
Finding the Right Doctor for You: When diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation, you need to find the best heart rhythm specialist, a Cardiac Electrophysiologist (EP), you can afford. An EP is a cardiologist who specializes in the electrical activity of the heart and in the diagnosis and treatment of heart rhythm disorders.
