Medical Electrophysiology Glossary
Medical Electrophysiology is a college program. Generally, Electrophysiology deals with the different registrations of the electric activity of the human being. All those registrations are necessary to determine the heart diseases or disorders of the nervous system. During their studying the students are taught how to make electrocardiograms, electroencephalograms, electronystagrams, etc.
