Abstract

An overview of electroanatomical mapping is described, including its history and current application in treating patients with atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Using a roving catheter in 3D space relative to a fixed reference, electroanatomical mapping provides the electrophysiologist with important location and electrical data to carefully guide catheter ablation procedures. Both magnetic-based mapping and impedance-based mapping are briefly discussed.
