Hello,

An electrophysiology (EP) study is a test performed to assess your heart's electrical system or activity and is used to diagnose abnormal heartbeats or arrhythmia.

The test is performed by inserting catheters and then wire electrodes, which measure electrical activity, through blood vessels that enter the heart.

A clinical cardiac electrophysiologist, or cardiac EP, is a healthcare provider who treats heart rhythm problems.

A cardiac EP is a type of cardiologist.

A cardiologist is a healthcare provider who has had 3 or more years of extra training beyond internal medicine to treat problems of the heart and blood vessels.

What steps are required to become one :

• Bachelor of Science in Cardio-vascular technology is an undergraduate course in cardiology.
• These technologists assist the physicians in the diagnosis and the treatment of cardiac (heart) and peripheral vascular conditions (blood vessels).
• The average salary offere in India to successful graduates of the course ranges between 2Lac INR to 12 Lac INR, depending upon the candidate's expertise in the field.

Hope this helps!!!
