An 电生理学研究 is a test to measure the electrical activity of the heart and to diagnose arrhythmia or abnormal heart rhythms.
导管消融 is a 过程 performed to treat some types of arrhythmia.
Is the 电生理学研究 and catheter ablation 过程 safe?
是的, the electrophysiology (EP) study and catheter ablation 过程 are considered safe. 任何手术都有潜在的风险. The risks will be explained by your doctor before the 过程 is performed. The EP study and catheter ablation are performed safely on children and adults, with the youngest patients at 3 months old and the oldest at 97 years old.
An EP study and catheter ablation may take three to six hours, depending on your condition. Please let your family and friends know the estimated 过程 time so they won't worry.
You may feel minor discomfort during the EP and catheter ablation 过程s from lying on our X-ray table, from the injection of the local anesthetic or numbing medicine where catheters are placed, or intermittently when doctors induce an abnormal heart rhythm. 尽量减少不适, 你可能会被注射短效镇静剂, depending on the type of 过程 you receive and the type of arrhythmia you have. 向你的十大赌博平台排行榜咨询你将得到的药物.
Why is a catheter inserted into a blood vessel in my neck?
The catheters are placed into two large blood vessels – one in the neck and the other in the groin – that enter the right side of the heart. The catheter placed in the blood vessel in the neck enters through the top of the heart. The catheter placed in the blood vessel in the groin enters through the bottom of the heart. 通过从两个方向插入导管, your doctor can better maneuver them to locate the source of your abnormal rhythm and destroy it.
When the catheters are removed from the neck and groin areas, 一个看起来像虫咬的小洞会留下. 不需要缝针,也不会留下疤痕.
Will the 电生理学研究 and catheter ablation be performed at the same time?
是的. Once we identify where your abnormal rhythm is located during the 电生理学研究, 我们将射频能量应用到这个区域 射频导管消融. We wouldn't want to put you through two different 过程s when it can all be done at one time.
在EP研究期间 过程, 电生理学研究员, 谁是专门研究电生理学的心脏病专家, 会插入导尿管吗. (Electrophysiology is the electrical system of the heart.) The electrophysiologist or "attending physician" will be at the control station during the 过程 .
从控制站, the electrophysiologist will direct the placing of catheters on an X-ray screen, 刺激不正常的心律, diagnose and locate the area of the heart causing the condition, and direct radiofrequency energy to the heart tissue to treat it. Electrophysiology lab nurses and technicians provide care and comfort during the 过程.
How many electrophysiology studies and catheter ablation 过程s has UCSF Medical Center performed?
Our electrophysiologists perform more than 400 catheter ablation 过程s and 900 total 过程s annually. This high volume ensures our team's efficiency and expertise. Because of our expertise and state-of-the-art technology, 我们收到来自十大赌博平台排行榜各地的推荐.
You may return home the same day after the 过程 or spend one night in the hospital and return home the next morning.
你可以恢复正常的日常活动-散步, 洗澡, 洗澡等等,只要你离开十大赌博平台排行榜, 除非另有指示. Don't strain or lift objects weighing more than 10 pounds for a few days, 直到插入导管的部位愈合.
Unless your job requires heavy lifting, you can return to work in a day or two.
Your UCSF doctor will ask you to return at least once after the 过程. There may be more follow-up care, depending on your particular arrhythmia and condition.
如果你不住在附近, your follow-up appointment may be arranged through the doctor who coordinates your care when you return home.
You'll receive follow-up instructions from the electrophysiology team, 当你出院的时候. The UCSF electrophysiologist will write a detailed letter describing your hospital stay and treatment to your primary care doctor or the specialist who referred you to UCSF. Please make an appointment in two to four weeks to see the doctor who is coordinating your care.
