Popis: Three-dimensional mapping systems are required in some electrophysiological procedures in order to allow nonfluoroscopic catheter navigation, reconstruction of electrophysiological mechanisms, particularly of complex arrhythmias, and to facilitate catheter ablation. Accuracy in three-dimensional reconstructions of cardiac chambers is crucial to increase the effectiveness and safety of electrophysiological procedures. We report on the feasibility of the anatomical reconstruction of the right ventricular chamber by means of the new Carto3 system. The three-dimensional anatomical reconstruction of the right ventricle was compared to the magnetic resonance image of the same chamber.
