Why the study?
Does noninvasive electrophysiological mapping accurately identify pacing point locations compared to invasive 3D electroanatomic mapping?
Does noninvasive electrophysiological mapping accurately identify pacing point locations compared to invasive 3D electroanatomic mapping?
Noninvasive electrophysiological mapping shows variable accuracy depending on the ventricular region, performing better on free walls than on the septum, apex, or outflow tracts.
Regional variability warrants caution in relying on noninvasive mapping; leaves open its clinical role pending prospective validation.
Mapping. Results of invasive and non-invasive mappings were analyzed and qualitative comparison of pacing point locations was performed. Better results were obtained for free walls of ventricles and worse for septum, apical parts and outflow tracts.
