Electrophysiological mapping

Electrophysiological mapping is a medical technique used to study the electrical activity of the heart. Small devices called catheters are inserted into blood vessels and guided to the heart, where they record electrical signals from different areas. This process helps doctors identify abnormal electrical pathways or sources of irregular heartbeats. By creating detailed, real-time maps of electrical activity, physicians can pinpoint the exact location of issues causing arrhythmias and plan targeted treatments like catheter ablation. Overall, electrophysiological mapping provides critical information to diagnose and treat complex heart rhythm disorders effectively.
