Cardiac Electrophysiology Program at Doctors Hospital:
Over the past year working with cardiologists at Doctors Hospital, ablation procedures, defibrillators and biventricular heart failure device therapy have been performed in a few patients. “Implanting devices is the easy part” says Dr Mahmud, “making this technology affordable and developing the technical support systems will take work”. What has made his job easier is the support he has received from his colleagues. “This is basically a team effort; these procedures cannot be performed in a vacuum”. Dr Mahmud comes back to Lahore after a long career in US. In 1986 he started the cardiac electrophysiology program at East Carolina University Hospital in North Carolina. In 1995, now a tenured professor, Dr. Mahmud left academics to join Michigan Cardiovascular Institute to start their electrophysiology program.Dr. Mahmud is a graduate of King Edward Medical College.

The common reasons for a cardiac electrophysiology evaluation are palpitations, fainting spells especially in heart patients and patients with who have severe weakness of the heart. Severe weakness of the heart can result in heart failure or risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Dr Mahmud feels that it is best to discuss your symptoms with your doctor or cardiologist to see if a cardiac electrophysiology evaluation is appropriate for you
