Abstract

Cardiac electrophysiology study (EPS) is one of the most advanced, challenging and a complex branch ofinvasive cardiology. It involves placement of large sized multipolar catheters in various chambers of theheart. They are used to map and also to ablate the culprit focus of arrhythmia generation. When done byexperts, the procedure can be curative. Three electrophysiology workshops were conducted in ShahidGangalal National Heart Centre. 44 patients underwent the procedure, among which 38 had radiofrequencyablations done and 8 had electrophysiological study. Of the ablated cases all were successful except onehad recurrence of tachycardia. Overall success rate was 93% and no major complications were notedduring or after procedure.Key Words: Electrophysiology, Radiofrequency ablation.
