Best Doctors for Ep Study Treatment in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad

An invasive cardiac electrophysiology test or EP study studies the heart's electrical system. If you are experiencing irregular or fast heartbeat, your healthcare provider might perform an electrophysiology test. For this test, you are asked to change into a hospital gown. On a bare chest, some electrode patches are placed. To ensure that there is no interference in studying the signals, any jewellery or hair on chest is removed. An electrocardiogram (ECG) monitor will record the signals. Certain catheters are inserted which work to send tiny electric signals. These help the cardiologist to study how your heart is reacting to the electric signals. Once the test is completed the catheters are withdrawn from blood vessels. You will need to recover before being discharged by the physician. It produces an electrocardiogram which has a record of your heart rhythm. The signals are seen as waves on a long piece of paper.
