Your heart and a light bulb have more in common than you think. Electrical currents power your heart’s beating rhythm and the field of cardiac electrophysiology focuses on the diagnosis
The Cape Town AF Centre offers the implantation of new ICD/CRT-D combination devices for specific patients in heart failure. In May 2019 the Cape Town AF Centre was once again
In February 2021 we added the world/s smallest cardiocapsule to our pacing armentarium. It is the world’s smallest cardiocapsule – and with this miniaturized, sophisticated and complete pacing system, new
Since October 2016, The CTAFC also offers the implantation of the world’s smallest pacemaker.
DIRECT CURRENT (DC) CARDIOVERSION Delivering an electric shock to reset the heart is a commonly performed procedure and is done by giving a brief anaesthetic to avoid any discomfort. The
HOW SHOULD NEW TECHNOLOGIES BE ASSESSED? The huge growth in AF ablation, and the complexity of the procedure has led to great interest in the development of new technologies to
