Electro-anatomic mapping systems in arrhythmias.
Electroanatomic mapping systems have permitted and facilitated difficult interventional ablation procedures for more than a decade. Initially, their use has been in arrhythmias in which the ablation target is difficult to identify, such as ventricular tachycardias in structural heart disease, atypical atrial flutters, or arrhythmias in patients with complex congenital heart defects. In the rece...
متن کاملMRI guided electrophysiological intervention with a voltage-based electro-anatomic mapping system
Background MRI visualizes luminal & vessel-wall anatomy, and identifies edema & scar tissue, contributing to improved electrophysiological (EP) ablative procedures for treatment of Ventricular Tachycardia & Atrial Fibrillation. MRI-guided EP interventions will be performed for the foreseeable future partially in & outside MRI, due to the need for X-ray/Ultrasound-compliant devices. Electromagne...
متن کاملElectro-Anatomic (CARTO) Mapping for Measurement of Left Atrial Volume: Validation Against Real-Time 3D Echocardiography
Background: Left atrial size is a determinant of atrial fibrillation ablation efficacy and embolic risk. The recent advent of real-time full-volume 3DE allows now rapid measurement of chamber volume more accurately than with standard two-dimensional echocardiography as volume is reconstructed from endocardial contours of the entire chamber without making geometric assumptions. Electro-anatomic ...
متن کاملOptical Mapping Of Cardiac Arrhythmias
The concept of mapping rhythmic activation of the heart dates back to the beginning of last century, with initial descriptions of reentry in turtle hearts1, to the first systematic mapping of sinus rhythm and then atrial flutter by Lewis et al2. Barker et al3 were the first to map the human heart. Initial mapping was primarily performed using single probes to record activation in different regi...
متن کاملAn Anatomic Concept Relevant to Idiopathic Ventricular Arrhythmias
Idiopathic ventricular arrhythmias (VAs) arising from the left ventricle (LV) are often accessible for catheter ablation from the aortic sinuses of Valsalva or adjacent to the mitral annulus (MA).1 The aortic and mitral valves are direct apposition and attach to an elliptical opening at the base of the LV known as the LV ostium.2 The VAs arising from this region are being increasingly recognize...
