93615 Esophageal recording
Also known as: Esophageal recording, esophageal electrogram, esophageal EP
Electrophysiology study using esophageal electrode recording to assess cardiac electrical activity and conduction from esophageal approach.
In Plain Language
throat electrical heart recording; esophageal electrical measurement; non-invasive heart rhythm test
Clinical Context
Non-invasive technique recording atrial electrogram through esophageal electrode, useful for assessing arrhythmias and atrial activity without intracardiac catheterization.
