Is It Safe To Have Electrophysiology Study For Fast Heartbeat?

Hi Doctor, docotor have suggested to undergo EPS test to my mother as sometime she feels her heartbeat goes very fast. I wanted to check 1) How safe this test is ? 2) How much time does this test takes? 3) What is success rate in the test ? 4) Can it get treated along with test? 5) Is there any side effect of it. 6) Approx cost incurred into this. Thank in advance, Brajesh
