Endocardial Electrophysiological Study in Clinical Practice in Patients with Bradysystole and Conduction Rhythm Disorders: a review

Abstract

The article demonstrates modern diagnostic capabilities of endocardial electrophysiological examination in cardiological patients with bradysystole and conduction disturbances that allow adequate assessment of the clinical situation. We made an attempt to systematize current indications for an electrophysiological study in this category of patients based on the analysis of several current recommendations.
