electrophysiologic study (EPS),

an invasive electrodiagnostic or manometric procedure that uses electrode catheters to pace the heart and potentially induce arrhythmias. The test identifies defects in the heart conduction system and arrhythmias that are otherwise inapparent. It also is used to assess the effectiveness of antiarrhythmic drugs.

Cardiac pacing An invasive study of the electrical behavior of the heart to diagnose and study arrhythmias
