Abstract
The overall aim of an invasive electrophysiological (EP) evaluation is to accurately diagnose the mechanism and substrate responsible for a documented or suspected arrhythmia to treat the patient's symptoms or improve his/her prognosis. Signifi cant developments in the understanding of arrhythmias as well as technological advances have allowed electrophysiology studies to be considered as a diagnostic fi rst line option. This chapter discusses the fundamental principles of invasive electrophysiology and provides an essential guide in terms of establishing the correct diagnosis and ablation strategy.
