The importance of electrical mapping of VT in the approaching era of
clinical imaging
Abstract
We are facing a new challenge: will imaging be the resolutive tool or
will new mapping catheters and mapping system together with mathematical
simulation solve this rebus? Clinical imaging will always remain
attractive, particularly for elective cases and may add decisive
information to best plan an ablation strategy: it represents a great
tool in the hands of the electrophysiologist; however, as
electrophysiologists, the imaging we should pursue is electrical – the
depiction of the entire reentry circuit remains the sole proof of the
target to ablate.
