A test called an electrophysiological examination examines the electrical activity of the heart and enables a physician to identify and evaluate rapid or irregular heartbeats. Comparable to an external electrocardiogram, it can provide more comprehensive information (ECG). A blood vessel (vein or artery) in the groin is used to inject a tiny tube called a catheter into the heart. This catheter's tip features a unique electrode that stimulates the heart and records electrical activity, enabling the doctor to pinpoint the source of any potential issues. An aberrant heart rhythm can be controlled or fixed using radiofrequency ablation. By introducing catheters, it is performed similarly to an electrophysiology study (EPS).
