Advanced mapping systems for atrial fibrillation ablation improve the acquisition and illustration of electrophysiological information compared to contemporary electroanatomical mapping systems.
Advanced mapping systems offer improved spatiotemporal resolution and automated algorithms to better characterize and ablate complex atrial fibrillation substrates compared to contemporary electroanatomical mapping.
May improve AF substrate mapping; leaves open effects on ablation success and outcomes.
Catheter ablation is an established and widespread treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Contemporary electroanatomical mapping systems (EAMs) have been developed to facilitate mapping processes but remain limited by spatiotemporal and processing restrictions. Advanced mapping systems emerged from the need to better understand and ablate complex AF substrate, by improving the acquisition and illustration of electrophysiological information. In this review, we present you the recently advanced mapping systems for AF ablation in comparison to the established contemporary EAMs.
