Classifying clinical states for electrophysiological studies (EPS) is challenging due to overlapping indications. EPS utility varies, with some states frequently benefiting, others showing divided opinions, and some rarely proving helpful or even causing harm.

Area of Science:

Clinical Medicine
Medical Procedures

Background:

Grouping clinical states for electrophysiological study (EPS) indications and contraindications presents challenges.
Significant overlap exists between conditions where EPS is indicated and contraindicated.

Purpose of the Study:

To classify clinical states based on the utility and indications for electrophysiological studies (EPS).
To delineate three general groups regarding the benefit and contraindications of EPS.

Main Methods:

Review and categorization of clinical states based on the established utility of EPS.
Summarization of clinical states and EPS utility in a tabular format (Table 1).

Main Results:

Electrophysiological studies (EPS) indications are difficult to group due to considerable overlap.

Three general groups of EPS utility were identified: frequently indicated, occasionally beneficial with divided opinions, and rarely helpful or harmful.

Specific clinical states and their associated EPS utility are detailed.

Conclusions:

A clear classification of clinical states for EPS indication and contraindication is complex.
The utility of EPS varies significantly across different clinical conditions, ranging from highly beneficial to potentially harmful.
