electroanatomical mapping

Electroanatomical mapping is a medical technique used to create a detailed, 3D map of the heart's electrical activity and structure. During a procedure, specialized catheters collect electrical signals and coordinate their locations within the heart. This data is then used to generate visual maps that show abnormal electrical pathways or damaged tissue responsible for arrhythmias. The process helps cardiologists precisely identify problem areas, guiding targeted treatments like ablation. This method improves accuracy and safety, enabling effective management of complex heart rhythm disorders without extensive invasive procedures.
