Inside the Heart’s Rhythm – Understanding Electrophysiology Study

Electrophysiology Study Introduction

An electrophysiology (EP) study is a test that checks the electrical activity of the heart. It helps doctors find the cause of abnormal heart rhythms, also called arrhythmias. The test is done using thin wires inserted into the heart through blood vessels.

Mapping the Heart’s Electricity: The Electrophysiology Study Process

In an EP study, a catheter with small electrodes is inserted through a vein, usually in the groin, and guided into the heart. These electrodes record electrical signals and can stimulate the heart to reproduce abnormal rhythms. Specialized equipment such as fluoroscopy, mapping systems, and radiofrequency generators are used. The study may identify the area where the arrhythmia begins and help plan treatments like ablation. The patient is usually sedated, and the procedure takes place in a specialized EP lab. This test is critical for diagnosing arrhythmias and deciding the best treatment approach.

Why it’s done?

• To diagnose the type and origin of an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)
• To assess the risk of developing more serious rhythm disorders
• To evaluate the need for treatments such as catheter ablation or implantable devices
• To monitor the effectiveness of ongoing arrhythmia treatment
