Basics of Electrophysiologic study, part 1 (2020)
An electrophysiologic study involves inserting electrode catheters into the heart to record electrical activity and induce arrhythmias. The document discusses: 1. The procedure involves placing catheters in the heart to record electrograms from the atria, His bundle, ventricles and coronary sinus. 2. The aims are diagnostic to evaluate arrhythmias and bradycardias, and therapeutic for ablation of arrhythmias. 3. Key measurements taken include intervals between P waves, His bundle activation and QRS complex to identify conduction abnormalities. 4. Tracings are analyzed to determine the rhythm, sequence of activation, effects of pacing, and identify arrhythmia mechanisms like accessory pathways
