## Description

epTools is a collection of clinically useful tools for evaluating heart rhythm disorders, available on iPhone and iPad. It combines localization algorithms for arrhythmia substrates with reference guides to support identification, interpretation, and management, all presented through an intuitive, decision-guided interface with graphical progress visuals.

Users can save the current decision path as an image for easy sharing, access scientific references, and apply multiple published algorithms to localize accessory pathways, atrial and ventricular tachycardias, and preexcitation variants. The toolkit also includes disease risk scores, guidance for conduction-system capture, rate and rhythm calculators, and features for differentiating SVT from VT on 12-lead ECGs, making it a practical resource for clinicians and trainees.

## Rankings

- #70,895 — Overall

## Review summary

Users praise the app for ease of use, broad utility in EP case decision making and ablation prep, and helpful rule-based guidance, with updates adding new algorithms. Key criticisms are limited PVC localization tools and a desire for more frequent content expansion.

### Pros

- Easy to use and quick to access during EP cases
- Very useful for a wide range of EP issues and decision making
- Helpful for preparing for ablations and procedural planning
- Memory aid for EP rules and known algorithms
- Content improves over time with updates/new algorithms

### Cons

- Lacks adequate tools for PVC localization
- Some users felt it didn't meet expectations or wasn't as great as hoped
- Desire for more frequent updates and broader content coverage (more algorithms, expansions)
