Unlike many diseases of the heart, arrhythmia’s are normally hidden or be dormant. They come out and strike only when conditions are favorable for them.

EP study uses advanced computerized technology to bring the arrhythmia out of its dormancy and shows how to get rid of it.

It is something like charming a dangerous snake out of its hole and getting rid of it so that there is no chance of it doing harm at all.

Why do I need an electrophysiology study?

An electrophysiology study is a procedure conducted by a specialist in heart rhythm disorders (EP) in hospital. It enables your doctor to precisely determine the cause of the abnormal heart rhythms and assist him in making decisions in relation to treatment.

Patients have an electrophysiological study as a day case or an overnight stay. EP doctors place recording wires in the heart via the veins in the groins. These specially designed recording wires with the help of advanced computers analyze the function of the heart’s electrical system, and diagnose abnormal heart rhythms.
