A member asked:
What do you expect from an ep study? is misdiagnosis may occur in the ep study? for example, the expected arrhythmia doesn't show up?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
EP: In ep the doctor tries to irritate areas of conduction in your heart to find out where it is to treat it or "burn" it. So you see, if by doing so, they may miss the area of abnormal rhythm and yes, can make an error. If that's the case, then the arrhythmia can recur. I hope they will be able to find out yours and treat it.
