Electrophysiology Study
A cardiac electrophysiology study (EPS) is a minimally invasive test used to evaluate your heart’s electrical system and to check for heart rhythm disorders. An EP study is often recommended for patients with symptoms of abnormal heart rhythms or for those who may be at risk for cardiac arrest.
During an EP study, the doctor will insert a small, thin tube called a catheter into a blood vessel that leads to your heart. A specialized electrode catheter designed for EP studies allows the doctor to send electrical signals to your heart and record its electrical activity. Electrical signals are sent through the electrodes to stimulate the heart tissue to try to cause the abnormal heart rhythm so the source of the abnormal heart rhythm can be found. The test results can help you and your doctor determine the best treatment option. Treatment options include medications, procedures and implantable devices to help normalize the arrhythmias.
