The electrophysiology study is an evaluation of the electrical activity in the heart. Generally, doctors use cardiac catheters and monitor to create electrocardiogram (EKG) tracings and electrical measurements from inside your heart. During the electrophysiology study, the cardiologist can safely reproduce the abnormal heart rhythm, and then they give some medications to see which one is best for the patient.

How You Can Prepare for the EPS?

 

 

Before the electrophysiology study, your doctor will tell you in detail, and what things you do not have to do. You do not have to eat or drink on the day of the test. In case you take any medicine, then ask your doctor if you should continue or not before your test.

The surgeon will numb the patient groin with special medication and insert several catheters into the vein. The doctor also uses another machine which is called a fluoroscopy machine, to guide the catheters to your heart.

Catheters sense the electrical activity in the patient heart and are used to assess the heart’s conduction system. A pacemaker will use by the doctor to give the patient heart electrical impulses through one of the catheters to increase your heart rate.

 

During the procedure, a patient can feel the heartbeat faster or stronger. In case the arrhythmia occurs, then the doctor may give some medications through your IV to test their success in controlling it.

 

It is not necessary but a small amount of energy can be supplied through the patches on the chest to bring the patient heart back into a normal rhythm. If you concerned about how much it will take time, then ​ electrophysiology study will take two to four hours.

 

Sometimes other procedures can also be done during the test but this decision is taken by the doctor such as:

 

  • A Placement of a heart pacemaker by the doctor

 

  • A Procedure to modify a small area in the heart that causes the patient heart rhythm problems (it is also called catheter ablation).

 

These two procedure depends on the patient’s condition if there is any requirement then your doctor will tell you.
