An Electrophysiology (EP) study is the test that examine the heart’s abnormal electrical activity while RF (Radiofrequency) Ablation is the treatment for abnormal rhythm.
The heart’s electrical system produces signals (impulses) that control the timing of the heartbeats. During an EP study, electrophysiologists can create a very detailed map of how these signals move between each heartbeat.
An EP study can help determine the cause of irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmias). Sometimes it’s done to predict the risk of sudden cardiac death.
Electrophysiologist are cardiologists with special training in heart rhythm disorders.
An EP study gives a very detailed look at how electrical signals move through the heart. Your doctor may recommend an EP study if:
EP Study is done in Cath Lab; usually under local anaesthesia. During an EP study, long, thin tubes (catheters) are placed in three or more heart areas. The heart doctor inserts plastic tubes similar to large IVs (sheaths) into a blood vessel. The catheters are guided through the sheaths up to the heart, often using moving X-ray images as a guide i.e. Fluoroscopy . Sensors on the tips of the catheters send electrical signals to the heart and record the heart’s electrical activity.
Several different tests can be done during an EP study. Which tests you have will depend on your specific condition and your overall health. During an EP study, a heart doctor can:
The procedure has almost 99% success rate and less than 1% recurrence rate.
Till date patients of Nagpur were referred to metropolitan cities like Mumbai or Hyderabad for this treatment or senior EP specialist used to visit Nagpur to treat patients. With full time availability of Dr. Chetan Rathi at Nagpur, 1st EP specialist of not only Nagpur but whole Vidarbha region, patient can avail this facility even at Nagpur. He was trained under Eminent Prof Dr. Yash Lokhandwala at Mumbai, who is one of the Pioneer of this treatment in whole India.

Heart disease and diabetes are closely interconnected, with diabetes significantly increasing the risk of developing heart disease. Here are the key points summarizing this relationship: 1.Increased Risk of Heart Disease: People with diabetes are 2 to 4 times more likely to develop cardiovascular disease compared to those without diabetes The
Introduction Cardiovascular diseases remain a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The World Health Organization reports that ischemic heart disease is the foremost cause of death globally. For effective diagnosis and treatment, medical advancements such as Angiography & Angioplasty play a crucial role. This article provides an in-depth look
Why young age heart attacks are increasing in india Heart attacks at a young age were once considered rare in India, but recent studies suggest that the trend is on the rise. The reasons behind this alarming increase in early age heart attacks are multifaceted and complex, but several
