EPS- Electrophysiology Study
Electrophysiology Study (EPS) is a specialised test that examines the heart’s electrical system to find the exact cause of abnormal heart rhythms. It helps doctors map how signals travel through your heart and decide if treatments like medication, ablation, or devices are needed. You may need this procedure if you experience the following signs.
Frequent unexplained heart rhythm issues
Sudden fainting without a clear cause
Rapid heartbeat episodes
Severe dizziness linked to palpitations
Suspected dangerous electrical heart disorders
Recurrent blackout episodes with a racing heartbeat

Patients Also Ask
Clear answers to the questions patients commonly ask about heart rhythm care.
What does an electrophysiology study involve?
An electrophysiology study is an advanced cardiac electrophysiology procedure where thin catheters are guided into the heart to map its electrical signals. This detailed heart rhythm test helps doctors understand how impulses travel, identify the source of irregular beats, and plan treatments like catheter ablation evaluation when needed.
How much does an EP study cost?
The cost of an EP study varies depending on the hospital, the complexity of the case, and whether additional procedures like ablation are performed during the same session. Patients usually receive a cost estimate after consultation.
What conditions can an EP study diagnose?
This arrhythmia diagnosis test helps detect issues such as supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular tachycardia, unexplained palpitations, fainting episodes, and other rhythm disturbances that routine ECGs may miss. It’s also valuable for supraventricular tachycardia evaluation and ventricular tachycardia testing.
How should you prepare for a cardiac electrophysiology procedure?
EP study preparation usually includes fasting, adjusting certain medications, and informing the doctor about any health conditions or allergies. The care team provides clear instructions based on the patient’s needs.
Are there any risks involved in an electrophysiology study?
Like any cardiac electrophysiology procedure, there are small risks such as bleeding, infection, or temporary rhythm changes. However, the risks of EP study are low when performed by trained electrophysiologists in a controlled environment.
