Electrophysiology Study (EPS)
Electrophysiology studies (EPS) are diagnostic tests utilized to comprehensively assess abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmias.
At Steps 2 Cure, we offer access to top-tier cardiologists who provide exemplary care and treatment. Our patients receive unparalleled medical support throughout their journey.
Electrophysiology studies involve the examination of the heart’s electrical activity to pinpoint the source of an arrhythmia. This precise information aids both you and your healthcare provider in determining the most suitable course of action, which may include medication, pacemaker implantation, an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD), cardiac ablation, or surgical intervention.
Symptoms
Your healthcare provider may suggest an EP study if:
- You have experienced fainting episodes.
- You are diagnosed with an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia).
- There is a need for cardiac ablation.
- You are at risk of sudden cardiac death.
When to access Medical Care
When an individual’s heart exhibits irregular rhythms, healthcare professionals utilize EPS to investigate the underlying causes. Normally, electrical signals follow a regular pattern as they traverse the heart.
Conditions like heart attacks, the aging process, and high blood pressure can lead to heart scarring, which may disrupt the heart’s rhythmic beating, resulting in irregular patterns. Additionally, certain congenital heart defects can introduce extra abnormal electrical pathways, contributing to the development of arrhythmias.
Determinants of risk
Like many medical tests and procedures, an EP (Electrophysiology) study carries certain risks, and some of them can be significant. Possible risks associated with an EP study include:
- Heart attack.
- Stroke.
- Rare instances of death.
- Bleeding or infection at the catheter insertion site.
- Formation of blood clots in the legs or lungs.
- Bleeding around the heart, resulting from damage (perforation) to the heart tissue.
- Damage to heart valves or blood vessels.
- Damage to the heart’s electrical system, potentially necessitating the implantation of a pacemaker for correction.
It’s crucial to discuss these potential risks with your healthcare provider before undergoing an EP study, as they can help you make informed decisions about your treatment. The benefits and risks will be carefully weighed to ensure the procedure’s safety and appropriateness for your specific situation.
Recovery process
Recovery duration varies, contingent on factors like patient characteristics, chosen procedure, and the extent of severity.
