Ablation and electrophysiology electrodes
Delivery and Access
Information
Ablation electrodes are used to record intracardiac potentials, map the electrical conduction of individual heart cavities, temporarily stimulate the mapped area of the heart, and deliver “RF” current
to the myocardium tissue, i.e., ablation of the arrhythmia substrate of the heart.
Electrophysiology electrodes are used to record intracardiac potentials and to temporarily stimulate the heart as part of an invasive diagnostic electrophysiological examination of the heart (EPS).
