Cardiac Electrophysiology Study

A Cardiac Electrophysiology Study (EPS) is a specialized diagnostic test used to assess abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias). This minimally invasive procedure helps identify the exact source of irregular electrical activity in the heart, guiding precise treatment strategies.

Why is an EPS Needed?

Dr. Gaurav Panchal recommends an EPS for patients experiencing:
✔ Unexplained palpitations, dizziness, fainting, or rapid heartbeats
✔ Suspected arrhythmias such as Atrial Fibrillation (AF), Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT), or Ventricular Tachycardia (VT)
✔ Risk assessment for sudden cardiac arrest or unexplained syncope (fainting episodes)

How is the EPS Performed?

✔ A thin catheter is inserted into a vein (usually in the groin) and guided to the heart.
✔ Electrical signals are recorded to study heart rhythm abnormalities.
✔ Arrhythmias may be triggered to determine the exact problem area.
✔ Ablation therapy can be performed immediately if necessary to correct the abnormal rhythm.

Benefits of EPS

✔ Accurate diagnosis of arrhythmias for effective treatment planning
✔ Guides pacemaker or defibrillator implantation decisions
✔ Enables curative ablation therapy for certain heart rhythm disorders

With extensive UK training in cardiac electrophysiology, Dr. Panchal ensures a safe, precise, and patient-focused approach to every EPS procedure.
