Electrophysiology Study (EPS)
EPS treatment in Sarjapur Road, Bangalore
An electrophysiology study (EPS) is a diagnostic procedure used to evaluate the heart's electrical activity. EPS can diagnose arrhythmias, determine the cause of palpitations, and assess the risk of sudden cardiac death. EPS is also used to guide the placement of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) and other cardiac devices.
The procedure is performed by inserting catheters into the heart through the veins in the leg. The catheters are used to record the electrical activity of the heart and to deliver electrical stimulation to the heart.
Before the procedure
-
An electrophysiology study (EPS) is a test that uses special equipment to record the electrical activity of your heart and to find out the cause of your heart rhythm problem. The EPS is also used to find the best way to treat your problem. Visit our cardiology hospital in Bangalore for the best treatment.
-
Before having an EPS, your doctor will do a physical exam and ask about your medical history. You may also have blood tests and other tests to check your heart.
-
You will be asked to stop taking certain medicines before the test. These include blood thinners such as warfarin (Coumadin®), antiarrhythmics such as amiodarone (Cordarone®) or quinidine (Quinaglute®), and some calcium channel blockers.
-
You may be asked to avoid eating or drinking for four to six hours before the test.
-
An EPS is usually done in a hospital. The test takes about two to four hours. During the test, you will be awake but may be given medicine to help you relax.
Procedure
An electrophysiology study (EPS) is a diagnostic procedure used to assess the electrical activity and function of the heart. EPS is used to diagnose and treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). The procedure is performed by a cardiologist or a heart rhythm specialist.
EPS involves inserting catheters (thin, flexible tubes) into the heart through the groin or chest. Once the catheters are in place, the cardiologist uses them to deliver electrical impulses to the heart and record the heart's electrical activity. EPS allows the cardiologist to see how the electrical impulses are conducted through the heart and identify areas of the heart that are not functioning properly. EPS can also be used to treat certain types of arrhythmias.
The procedure takes about 2-3 hours to complete. You will be awake during the procedure, but you will be given sedatives to help you relax. You will also be given local anaesthesia to numb the area where the catheters will be inserted.
After the procedure
The "Post-procedure for Electrophysiology Study (EPS)" is a set of guidelines for medical professionals to follow after an EPS procedure has been completed. These guidelines are designed to ensure a patient's safety and well-being and that the procedure was performed correctly.
-
The first step in the post-procedure is to check the patient's vital signs. This includes checking their blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration. The medical team will also check for any signs of bleeding or infection. Book an appointment to have the best treatment.
-
After the vital signs have been checked, the patient will be asked to remain in the hospital for observation. The length of time that the patient will need to stay in the hospital will depend on the individual case. In some cases, the patient may be able to go home on the same day as the procedure.
-
Once the patient is discharged from the hospital, they will need to follow up with their doctor. The doctor will check the patient's progress and make sure that there are no complications. The patient may also need to take medication to prevent arrhythmias.
