Diagnosing Arrhythmia Problems

Electrophysiology Study

Finding Answers in the Electrophysiology Laboratory

Patients from around Wisconsin and northern Illinois are referred to Froedtert & The Medical College of Wisconsin for electrophysiology testing in our electrophysiology laboratory.

The electrophysiology lab (EP lab) is equipped to diagnose common and complex electrical disturbances of the heart (arrhythmias).

Medical College of Wisconsin electrophysiologists (cardiologists with special training and board certification in cardiac electrophysiology) specialize in the diagnosis of arrhythmias.

The EP lab uses state-of-the-art digital fluoroscopy, computerized three-dimensional cardiac mapping equipment, and intravascular ultrasound to visualize of structures of the heart.
