Ripple mapping provides benefits over traditional electroanatomic mapping techniques for the diagnosis and management of atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
Does Ripple Mapping improve the identification of tachycardia mechanisms and optimal ablation sites compared to traditional electroanatomic mapping techniques in patients with atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias?
Ripple mapping is a novel 3D visualization technique that provides benefits over traditional electroanatomic mapping for the diagnosis and management of tachyarrhythmias during electrophysiological procedures.
Ripple mapping is a novel method of 3D intracardiac electrogram visualisation that allows activation of the myocardium to be tracked visually without prior assignment of local activation times and without interpolation into unmapped regions. It assists in the identification of tachycardia mechanism and optimal ablation site, without the need for an experienced computer-operating assistant. This expert opinion presents evidence demonstrating the benefit of Ripple Mapping, compared with traditional electroanatomic mapping techniques, for the diagnosis and management of atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias during electrophysiological procedures.
Katritsis et al. (Mon,) conducted a review in Atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias. Ripple Mapping vs. Traditional electroanatomic mapping techniques was evaluated. Ripple mapping provides benefits over traditional electroanatomic mapping techniques for the diagnosis and management of atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias.
