What is the risk of death or a seriously complication from an ep study?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complications rare: Larger centers with experienced cardiologists who do a lot of these studies will have lower rates of complications, but in general, the overall rate of complications is listed at around 2%. Most are related to the catheterization process (damage to vessels, heart valves), or things like blood clots and arrhythmias. However, generally, this is a safe procedure in experienced hands.
