Key result
Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by a noncontact mapping system eliminated focal atrial tachycardia in 13 of 14 cases, with 91.7% of patients remaining AT-free at 8 months follow-up.
Why the study?
Does radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by noncontact mapping system improve elimination of focal atrial tachycardia in patients with focal AT?

Does radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by noncontact mapping system improve elimination of focal atrial tachycardia in patients with focal AT?
Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by a noncontact mapping system is effective and safe for eliminating focal atrial tachycardia.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Noncontact mapping may aid focal AT ablation in select cases; leaves open comparative efficacy versus conventional mapping.
Higa et al. (2003) conducted an observational in Focal atrial tachycardia (n=13). Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by noncontact mapping system was evaluated on Freedom from focal atrial tachycardia during follow-up. Radiofrequency catheter ablation guided by a noncontact mapping system eliminated focal atrial tachycardia in 13 of 14 cases, with 91.7% of patients remaining AT-free at 8 months follow-up.
