Description

Atrial fibrillation is a common and complex arrthythmia. In the past 10 years cather-based radiofrequency ablation has dramatically increased to the benefit of eliminating AF in the most symptomatic patients affected by this problematic arrhymia.Further investigation into the electrophysiological properties in AF is required to develop an appropriate treatment, though radiofrequency ablation has opened the new era of therapies for AF. In order to be used as an important role in characterizing complete propagation through atrium, whole-atrial epicardial mapping system may analysis both amplitude and phase information. In order to record whole atrial electrical activity at the same time, a new epicardial mapping system was developed in 2008. This map system can synchronously record multi-sites electronic signals in a cardiac cycle, and then to demonstrate the activation's propagation path in a 3D cardiac model.
