Clinical developments in cardiac activation mapping

Abstract

The development of new mapping systems are beginning to overcome some of the limitations of conventional techniques (Table 1). Most of these systems continue to undergo development and none of them completely encompass all the requirements for an ideal mapping system. However, ablation of complex arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia and atrial fibrillation is becoming increasingly feasible with the use of 3 dimensional electrophysiological and anatomical maps.
