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