Electroanatomic Mapping System – the useful tool for electrophysiology
Journal Title: European Journal of Medical Technologies - Year 2015, Vol 13, Issue 4
Abstract
During over 20 years of development of catheter-based technologies in the management of cardiac arrhythmias, electroanatomic mapping systems have evolved significantly. Unique features of the systems such a non-fluoroscopic catheter localization or displaying activation and voltage maps, allow to target more challenging arrhythmias, reduce fluoroscopy exposure and decrease complications occurrence. New types of fractionation and score maps help to identify origin of complex arrhythmias. These tools allow to a patient-tailored approach. We present the usage of electroanatomic mapping systems during procedures of arrhythmia ablation. The principles of creation of activation, voltage, fractionation and score maps and their implementation in clinical practice were discussed.
