Prioritizes precise mapping and lesion formation in ablation; leaves open standardization of assessment tools for consistent outcomes.
In the last decade, catheter ablation, using radiofrequency energy, has revolutionized the treatment of patients with cardiac arrhythmias. The success of this therapy depends upon two factors: 1. Cardiac mapping: the ability to successfully characterize the arrhythmic circuit, and 2. Lesion formation: the ability to generate a lesion in the heart capable of abolishing the arrhythmia.
