Although pacing and electrophysiology (EP) have been practised at the Epworth since the mid-1980s, they have enjoyed significant and continued growth since the opening of the J.G. Sloman dedicated EP laboratory 4 years ago. Nevertheless, there has not been a formal audit performed in these fields so far. This analysis sought to define the number and nature of the cases treated in the EP and pacing laboratory over a period of 18 months, so that recommendations might be made to improve our future practise in this area. Whilst it became apparent that the lack of a uniform and consistent data base (such as that which is used for the interventional cardiology laboratory) significantly hampered the process of this analysis, nevertheless the analysis revealed the high standard of performance and level of success attained in these cases over the given time period.
自20世纪80年代中期以来，爱普沃思医院就开展了起搏和电生理学（EP）相关业务，自4年前J.G. 斯洛曼专用EP实验室启用以来，这两项业务取得了显著且持续的发展。然而，迄今为止，这些领域尚未进行过正式的审计。本分析旨在确定EP和起搏实验室在18个月内治疗的病例数量和性质，以便提出建议，改进我们今后在该领域的业务。虽然明显缺乏统一且一致的数据库（如用于介入心脏病学实验室的数据库）严重阻碍了这一分析过程，但分析显示在给定时间段内这些病例的治疗表现和成功率达到了很高的水平。
