Utilization of Three-Dimensional Mapping for Tachyarrhythmia Patient Who Undergoing Electrophysiology Study and Ablation

Abstract

Three dimensional mapping ( 3D Mapping ) has been utilized to enhance safety and efficacy of electrophysiology study and ablation of patient with arrhythmia. Current technologies including magnetic-based, impedance-based or hybrid-based technology were used to facilitate the followings : creation of anatomy without using fluoroscopy, creation of local activation mapping (LAT), voltage mapping ,Complex Fractionated Atrial Electrogram (CFAEs) mapping, or creation of points during pace mapping. Moreover, 3D mapping can process collected mapping points during mapping which can be viewed as isochronal activation,  propagation map or RippleÒ map. Overall, with using 3D mapping not only help patients with arrhythmia to have better safety and outcome with ablation, this technologies could provide safe environment to the team resulted from reduction of fluoroscopy time and procedural time.
