The Electrophysiology
Laboratory and
Electrophysiologic
Procedures
SCOTT W. FERREIRA • ALI A. MEHDIRAD
During the past two decades, the dedicated electrophysiology laboratory has evolved into a highly specialized procedure room wherein a variety of procedures are offered, ranging from diagnostic
elec trophysiologic (EP) studies, curative catheter ablation procedures, implantation of loop recorders, and pacemakers, defibrillators,
and resynchronization therapy devices to extraction of chronic indwelling leads.
The electrophysiologic study (EPS) is an invasive procedure that
involves the placement of multipolar catheter electrodes at various
intracardiac sites. Electrode catheters are routinely placed in the right
atrium (RA), across the tricuspid valve annulus in the area of the
atrioventricular (AV) node and His bundle (a special part of the conduction system), in the right ventricle (RV), in the coronary sinus, and
sometimes in the left ventricle (LV; Fig. 6 -1). The general purposes of
EPS are to characterize the EP properties of the conduction system,
induce and analyze the mechanism of arrhythmias, and evaluate the
effects of therapeutic interventions. Invasive EP techniques and procedures are routinely used in the clinical management of patients who
have supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias (Box 6-1). In today’s
laboratory, the use of computer-generated “electroanatomical maps”
are very much a part of the jargon, and even a novice must be able to
recognize the color-coded activation patterns of common arrhythmias
shown later in this chapter. Individuals seeking a more in-depth discussion of the procedures and concepts described should refer to the
Suggested Readings section later in this chapter.
Equipment
An EP laboratory is equipped with radiographic imaging systems, a
recording and monitoring system, a stimulator, and all drugs and
equipment required for advanced cardiovascular life support (ACLS)
(Fig. 6-2). Although a dedicated laboratory would be preferable, in
many institutions, these procedures are performed in the cardiac
hemodynamic-angiographic catheterization laboratory. If used for
pacemaker and defibrillator implantation procedures, the room should
have air filtering equivalent to that in a surgical operating room.
Although expensive and elaborate equipment cannot substitute
for an experienced and careful operator, the use of inadequate equipment may prevent adequate amounts of data from being collected and
can make all the difference between success and failure. The arrhythmia targeted determines what equipment is required. A complete

evaluation of most arrhythmias that may require activation mapping
necessarily involves the use of multiple catheters, several recording
channels, a programmable stimulator, and sophisticated and computerized three-dimensional (3D) mapping systems. Thus, an appropriately equipped laboratory should provide all of the equipment
necessary for the most detailed study.
Electrode Catheters

recording of local myocardial electrical activity. The material used to
construct these catheters may be of the woven Dacron variety or synthetic materials, such as plastic or polyurethane. The number of electrodes in these catheters can var y between 2 and 20, interelectrode
spacing between 2 and 20 mm, and thickness between 4 F and 7 F.
The shape of these catheters can vary on the basis of the structures
that they are designed to map: the crista terminalis, His bundle, coronary sinus, or pulmonary vein ostium. Typical EP catheters are shown
in Figure 6-3.
Ablation Catheters
Ablation catheters of various designs allow the operator to map and
deliver energy in a very precise manner. These catheters var y with
respect to the length of the ablation/tip electrode, which can range
from 3.5 to 10 mm in length. Figure 6-4 shows commonly used ablation
catheters. Notice that the tip of the catheter can be deflected to allow
for the arrhythmogenic myocardium to be reached. Conventionally,
the tip of the ablation catheter is longer than the electrode of a diagnostic catheter, to prevent overheating of the ablation electrode with
consequent coagulum formation. Prevention of overheating of the
ablation electrode can also be achieved by actively cooling with saline
irrigation.
Electroanatomical Mapping Catheters
In the mid 1990s, a novel technology termed nonfluoroscopic electroanatomical mapping revolutionized the practice of interventional EP.
Electroanatomical mapping systems integrate three functionalities,
namely, (1) nonfluoroscopic catheter localization in 3D space, (2) 3D
display of activation sequences and electrogram voltage, and (3) integration of this electroanatomical information with noninvasive images
of the heart—that is, computed tomography, magnetic resonance
images, or ultrasound images (image fusion). Two leading mapping
systems are available and most laboratories use one or both. They are
(1) the CARTO 3 system, manufactured by Biosense Webster, Inc., and
(2) the NavX system, manufactured by St. Jude Medical.
CARTO 3. In the mid 1990s, Biosense Webster, Inc. created a catheter
that has the appearance of a standard ablation catheter with a magnetic sensor within the shaft near the tip. Together with a reference
sensor, it can be used to precisely map the 3D spatial location of the
catheter (Fig. 6-5). The electroanatomical mapping system is called
the CARTO 3 system and consists of the reference and catheter sensor,
an external ultra-low magnetic emitter (Figs. 6 -6 and 6-7), and a processing unit. The amplitude, frequency, and phase of the sensed magnetic fields contain information to solve the algebraic equations,
yielding the precise locations (see Fig. 6-6) in three dimensions (x, y,

and z axes) and orientation of the catheter tip sensor (roll, pitch, and
yaw). An electrogram can also be recorded simultaneously in space,
and thus, an electroanatomical map can be generated. The catheter
can also be moved without fluoroscopy, thus decreasing radiation
exposure. An example of atrial tachycardia that arose from a focal
point that was mapped and ablated successfully with the use of the
CARTO 3 system is shown in Figure 6-7 for focal tachycardia. Shown

Figure 6-5 Image illustrates principles of operation of the CARTO 3 sys-
tem; specifically, how catheter location is determined. The location pad,
fixed beneath the patient table, is constructed of three coils that generate
ultra-low magnetic fields (1, 2, and 3 kHz). The emitted fields possess well known temporal and spatial distinguishing characteristics that “code” the
mapping space around the patient’s chest. Sensing of the magnetic field
by the location sensor (passive) enables determination of the location and

NavX. The NavX system uses three low-amplitude high-frequency
current fields that are generated in three axes over the patient’s thorax
to compute the position of an electrode in the thorax relative to a reference electrode that can be placed in the heart or on the patient’s
thorax. On the basis of these measurements, the system then displays
the position of any EP catheter. The advantage of this system is that
multiple catheters can be displayed, and unlike the CARTO 3 system,
they are not limited to the products of a single manufacturer. Figure
6-8 shows an example of an LAO cranial view of an electroanatomical
map of the left atrium (LA, purple shell) along with the four pulmonary
veins and the left atrial appendage (LAA, green) constructed with

uses the magnetic technology to accurately determine location and orientation of the catheter in 6 degrees of freedom (x, y, z, roll, pitch, and yaw)
and simultaneously records the intracardiac local electrogram from its tip.

a patient undergoing catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation (AF).
Junction Box and Recording Apparatus
The junction box and recording apparatus consists of pairs of numbered multiple pole switches matched to each recording and stimulation channel and permits the ready selection of any pair of electrodes
for stimulation or recording. Current computer junction boxes come
in banks of 8 or 16. Nowadays, the signal processor (filters and amplifier), visualization screen, and recording apparatus are incorporated
as a single unit in the form of a computerized system. GE Healthcare,
EP Med Systems (St. Jude Medical), and Bard Electrophysiology manufacture popular systems. Eight to 14 amplifiers should be available to
process surface electrocardiogram (ECG) leads simultaneously with
multiple intracardiac electrograms. The number of amplifiers can be
as many as 128 in some systems. Intracardiac recordings must be
displayed simultaneously, with at least three surface ECG leads. Most
computers allow several pages to be stored, with one page displaying
a 12-lead ECG. Thus, an operator can always have a 12-lead ECG
recorded simultaneously while observing intracardiac electrogram
data. The amplifiers used for recording intracardiac electrograms must
have the ability to have gain modification and alter both high and low
band pass filters to permit appropriate attenuation of the incoming
signals. For example, the His bundle electrogram is most clearly visualized when the signal is filtered between 30 and 40 Hz (high pass) and
400 and 500 Hz (low pass; Fig. 6-9). In addition, assessing unipolar
electrograms also requires acquiring open filters (0.05 to 500 Hz).

Maroon dots, Sites where catheter ablation was performed. LAO, Left ante rior oblique; LAT, lateral.
Stimulation Apparatus
Most EPSs require a complex programmable stimulator that has (1) a
constant current source, (2) minimal current leakage, (3) the ability
to pace at a wide range of cycle lengths (100 to 2000 msec) from at
least two simultaneous sites, (4) the ability to introduce multiple extrastimuli, and (5) the ability to synchronize the stimulator to appropriate
electrograms during spontaneous and paced rhythms. The stimulator
is equipped with dials or switches by which the pacing intervals and
coupling intervals of the extrastimuli may be adjusted (Fig. 6 -10). A
junction box that interfaces with the recording system and stimulator
facilitates changes in the pacing site without the need to disconnect
catheters. The stimulator should be able to deliver variable currents
that can be accurately controlled, with a range from 0.1 to 10 mA. The
ability to change pulse widths is also useful. The results of programmed
stimulation can be influenced by the delivered current, and for consistency and safety, stimulation is generally performed at two and a
half times diastolic threshold.

The clearest recording of the His bundle electrogram occurs with a filtering
of the signals below 30 Hz and above 500 Hz (A).
It is preferable that the stimulator, computerized data recorder,
and other devices used in EP are permanently installed. Most laboratories use a stimulator and computer system that modifies all input
signals and stores them in an optical disc. All equipment must be
grounded, and other aspects of electrical safety must be ensured
because even small amounts of leakage current can pass to the patient
and potentially induce arrhythmias. A technical engineer must check

the equipment so that leakage current remains <10 mA. Figure 6-2
shows an illustration of the organization of the relevant equipment
required during an EPS.
Defibrillator
A functioning defibrillator should be available at the patient’s side
throughout all EPSs. A backup defibrillator is optimal in case of a rare
but potentially disastrous failure of one defibrillator. Defibrillators
should be tested before each study and equipped with an emergency
power source. Many laboratories use commercially available R2 pads,
which are placed on the patient before the EPS procedure begins. One
pad is placed under the right scapula and the other on the anterior
chest over the left ventricular (LV) apex and connected to the defibrillator with an adapter. In rare instances in which transthoracic
defibrillation fails to convert induced ventricular fibrillation (VF),
emergency defibrillation through an intracardiac electrode catheter
may be effective in terminating the arrhythmia (Fig. 6-11). It is our
practice to have biphasic defibrillators in our laboratories.
Because the physician’s attention is often focused on the stimulator and electrograms, he or she relies heavily on the nurse to monitor
the patient’s condition and communicate significant changes. The
nurse usually sits between the patient and the cardioverter-defibrillator
and crash cart. The nurse monitors the patient’s blood pressure, heart
rate (HR), rhythm, and oxygen saturation via a pulse oximeter; administers drugs for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions during EPS;
and performs cardioversion or defibrillation when an induced hemodynamically unstable arrhythmia appears. Optimally, a second nurse
is available during procedures to administer medications or assist in
technical aspects of the procedure.
