Maintaining a healthy heartbeat and blood flow to the rest of the body may require a closer look at how the heart is working. Electrophysiology (EP) Lab studies provide leading-edge technology that can diagnose many heart conditions without surgery for patients. An electrical "map" of the heart can reveal abnormal heart rhythms or rapid heart beat, which can be treated using radiofrequency energy to destroy the specific heart cells causing the condition. EP Lab studies will also provide information to show if an internal defibrillator or pacemaker is needed. If that is the case, patients can receive those implants in the EP Lab.
