More than 10 million people worldwide suffer from the life-changing effects of arrhythmias. Until recently, the only therapy options for patients were drugs and implantable devices. Technology from Endocardial Solutions is offering new potential for catheter ablation, a curative procedure in which the source of an arrhythmia is identified and eliminated with a pulse of radiofrequency energy.
The ® system allows physicians to accurately map the heart and pinpoint the source of an arrhythmia with one of two technologies.
- ® noncontact mapping technology allows physicians to record full chamber activation data and pinpoint the source of an arrhythmia--often in a single beat.
- The recently released ™ technology creates a new standard for catheter navigation, allowing simultaneous guidance of up to eight catheters--with a maximum of 64 total electrodes.
