Supports integration of advanced mapping into AF ablation; leaves open prospective outcome trials.
The number of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablations performed annually has been increasing exponentially in the western countries in the last few years. This is clearly related to technological advancements, which have greatly contributed to the improvements in catheter ablation of AF. In particular, state-of-the-art electroanatomical mapping systems have greatly facilitated mapping processes and have enabled complex AF ablation strategies. In this review, we outline contemporary and upcoming electroanatomical key technologies focusing on new mapping tools and strategies in the context of AF catheter ablation.
