Local electrogram monitoring at the ablation site during radiofrequency catheter ablation.

Q: What does this research mean for the field?

Monitoring local electrogram amplitude changes during radiofrequency catheter ablation can predict ablation lesion characteristics, including transmurality in the atrium and ablation volume in the ventricle. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.
