AB  - The  field  of  cardiac  electrophysiology  was  ushered  in  with  the  development  of  the  electrocardiogram  (ECG)  by  Einthoven  at  the  turn  of  the  twentieth  century.  Subsequent  recording  of  cellular  membrane  currents  demonstrated  that  the  body  surface  ECG  is  the  timed  sum  of  the  cellular  action  potentials  in  the  atria  and  ventricles.  In  the  late  1960s,  the  development  of  intracavitary  recording,  in  particular,  His  bundle  electrograms,  marked  the  beginning  of  contemporary  clinical  electrophysiology.  Adoption  of  radiofrequency  (RF)  technology  to  ablate  cardiac  tissue  in  the  early  1990s  heralded  the  birth  of  interventional  cardiac  electrophysiology.
