| Core Tip |
Voltage mapping is commonly used during substrate mapping to detect target areas for ablation in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). Analysis of the substrate may take the form of detecting low voltage areas or the average voltage over an entire region. Often, areas which are targets for ablation are located where the voltage level is lower than normal, indicating disease and damage to the substrate. Furthermore, as AF progresses from paroxysmal to persistent type, the voltage level of the left atrium tends to diminish. This is often associated with atrial remodeling, in which structural and electrical changes occur during arrhythmia. Protocols for finding target areas using voltage mapping are described, and future research efforts to improve mapping and outcome are discussed. |
