What Are An EPS and SVT Ablation?
If you're experiencing an irregular heartbeat, an EPS and SVT ablation could be used to diagnose and treat it. An electrophysiologic study of the heart (EPS) is a test that examines the electrical activity of your heart to pinpoint the cause of arrhythmias. If the test reveals issues like supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), an SVT heart ablation can be performed to correct the abnormal rhythms by eliminating the affected tissue. Combining an electrophysiologic study and ablation procedure can help restore a normal heart rhythm and improve your overall heart health.

How Are An EPS and SVT Ablation Performed?
An EPS is performed by inserting thin catheters into blood vessels, usually through the groin, and guiding them to your heart to study its electrical activity. If an abnormal rhythm is detected, an SVT ablation procedure is typically recommended. An SVT ablation utilizes targeted energy to destroy the tissue that causes an irregular heartbeat. After an SVT ablation procedure, recovery is typically quick with most patients returning to normal activities within a few days. At AZ Cardiology, our team of cardiologists prioritizes individualized care, ensuring every patient receives the most appropriate and effective treatment for their specific heart condition.
