Key result
Electromechanical endocardial mapping is a new imaging modality with applications in diagnosing arrhythmias, assessing left ventricular function, and guiding direct myocardial revascularization.
Electromechanical endocardial mapping serves as a multifaceted tool for electrophysiology, ventricular assessment, and targeted myocardial therapies.
May integrate arrhythmia diagnosis with LV assessment and revascularization guidance; leaves open prospective outcome trials.
Electromechanical endocardial mapping of the heart using a nonfluoroscopic catheter-based system is a new imaging modality that has been studied recently in the experimental setting as well as in patients. Besides its original application in the diagnosis and treatment of various cardiac arrhythmias, it has also been used as an investigational tool for assessing left ventricular function and viability. Finally, the mapping system may be a valuable platform for direct myocardial revascularization using either laser treatment or injection of pharmacologic agents.
