The cardiologists at Ohio Valley HeartCare have a wide variety of tests to help diagnose heart conditions. These tests are administered by trained medical experts who work closely with your physician and who utilize state-of-the-art equipment to help monitor, measure and interpret conditions. What is Electrophysiology? Electrophysiology (EP) is a branch of cardiology that examines the electrical behavior of the heart by recording electrical activity from within the heart chambers. How Electrophysiology Works Your Ohio Valley HeartCare electrophysiologist will insert catheters into the groin area. Through these catheters, the doctor can record electrical activity inside the heart and allow the analysis of the heart's electrical system. What you can Expect During the Study During your Electrophysiological study you can expect that your Ohio Valley Heart Care Specialist will answer any question you have.

If you or your family members have any questions about chest pain symptoms, please feel free to contact your Ohio Valley HeartCare cardiologist or medical specialist at (800) 26-HEART.
