Under what circumstances may an electrophysiology study of the heart be recommended?
GaleEncyofSurgery
when the standard EKG, Holter monitor, event recorder, stress test , echocardiogram, or angiogram cannot provide enough information to evaluate an abnormal heart rhythm (arrhythmia).

Is the pacemaker of the heart under normal circumstances is called the sinoatrial SA node?
Yes the sinoatrial node is also called the pacemaker under all circumstances
What is the approximate cost in the US to do an electrophysiology study?
Mine was billed at $18, 425 for the evaluation with additional charges of $4,704 for "intracardia electrophysiology" and $5,428 for "Stimulations, pacing of the heart." The insurance company has a contracted price for less than that, however.
What is the origin of the term Electrophysiology?
Electrophysiology is of Greek origin. It is the study of electrical properties of biological cells and tissue. It measures voltage change or electric currents on many scales like ion channel protein to organs like the heart.
How long can a heart be kept once removed from a donor?
Under the right circumstances, it can be kept FOREVER.
What procedure is involved in an electrophysiology study of the heart?
four to 10 electrodes are located on the end of the catheters, which have the ability to send electrical signals to stimulate the heart (called pacing) and to receive electrical signals from the heart
Which parts of the heart can be replaced when they go wrong?
It is possible to replace the entire heart under some circumstances. It's also possible to replace the valves and coronary arteries.
Of what advantage is an electrophysiology study of the heart compared to other noninvasive tests?
electrodes are placed directly on heart tissue. This placement allows the electrophysiologist to determine the specific location of an arrhythmia and, often, to correct it during the same procedure
What consideration underscores the need for electrophysiology study tests?
The normal function of the heart depends on its electrical activity, and the effect of this activity on each of its cells. When a heart is diseased, impaired electrical activity is often the factor that leads to sudden death
Under what circumstances would a person be considered for coronary stenting?
According to research the circumstances for one to be considered for coronary stenting are if one has coronary heart disease of some kind or are at risk of having a heart attack. This helps prevent any causes of this procedure happening and can also save lives.

What is the ability of haert and lungs to deliver the oxygen?
Aerobic fitness is the ability of the heart and lungs to deliver oxygen. This oxygen meets body needs under a variety of circumstances.
