Electrophysiology (EP) study is a medical procedure used to evaluate the electrical activity of the heart and diagnose arrhythmias or other cardiac conditions. During an EP study, a healthcare provider inserts catheters with electrodes through a blood vessel (usually in the groin or neck) into the heart. These electrodes measure the electrical signals in the heart and can induce arrhythmias to understand their mechanisms.
