 | | After positioning the patient on the table, specially trained electrophysiology nurses put ECG electrode pads on the patient's chest, shoulders and legs. | | | As a safety precaution, a pair of large defibrillation pads will be placed the patient's back and chest and are connected to an external cardiac defibrillator. | | | With the guidance of their electrophysiologist or cardiologist, patients should evaluate the benefits and risks of undergoing an electrophysiology procedure given their particular clinical situation. |

| | Comprehensive Cardiovascular Care Group:Electrophysiology Study |
| | Because many arrhythmias occur sporadically, the goal of an electrophysiology study is to reproduce the arrhythmia so that it can be identified and treated. | | | Performed in the electrophysiology laboratory with the patient awake or mildly sedated and under constant monitoring (blood pressure and heart rate/rhythm), these studies involve inserting catheters into peripheral veins and threading them to various positions in the heart. | | | Upon completion of the study, the catheters will be removed and pressure applied to the arm or groin to prevent bleeding. |
