Electrophysiology/Ablation/Cardiac Device
Implantation

When the heart experiences a cardiac rhythm
disturbance, an electrophysiology study (ESP) can
be done to locate the source of the irregularity.
An ESP is done in an EP lab by a specialist. You
will receive an IV and a sedative, then the
doctor will insert a catheter that is guided
through the blood vessels to the heart chambers.
The catheters are attached to a device that
measures the electrical impulses inside your
heart.

Cardiac ablation works by scarring or destroying
tissue in your heart that triggers or sustains an
abnormal heart rhythm. In some cases, cardiac
ablation prevents abnormal electrical signals
from entering your heart and, thus, stops the
arrhythmia.
Cardiac Device Implantation is a term that
encompasses pacemakers for bradyarrhythmia
treatment, implantable cardioverter
defibrillators (ICDs) for tachyarrhythmia
management, and cardiac resynchronization therapy
(CRT) devices for systolic dysfunction with
conduction delays.
