It is usually resorted to in cases where simple medications are not effective in controlling the rhythm abnormalities. Generally it is done without any sedation or general anesthesia as it is not very painful. Local anesthesia is given at the sites where the blood vessels are punctured to introduce small electrodes into the various chambers of the heart for recording the electrical activity of the heart internally. Each electrode has multiple recording poles &#8211; bipolar with two recording poles, quadripolar with four recording poles, decapolar with ten recording poles and duo-decapolar with 20 electrode poles.<\/p>\n<p>The signals from the electrodes reach a junction box from where it reaches recorder which also displays multiple simultaneous channels on a screen. The signals can be electronically archived on a hard disc or printed on a calibrated recording paper. By analyzing the sequence in which signals arrive at each electrode, the pattern in which the signals are conducted within the heart can be assessed. This gives valuable information on the origin of the heart rhythm disorder.
