Biosense Webster’s CARTO™3D Mapping System allows electrophysiologists to identify the abnormal tissue by generating a 3D electroanatomic map of the heart chambers and navigate safely around them in real time. “Integrated mapping has been a cornerstone of cardiac ablation over the years because ...
One of the most common procedures they perform is cardiac catheterization. This involves inserting a catheter into the blood vessels to diagnose and assess blocked arteries, determine the presence of heart disease, and evaluate heart function. During cardiac catheterization, invasive cardiologists can ...
What is a physical relief map?Map Types:Maps can be categorized into different types, such as general reference maps which can be used for navigation and thematic maps which show a specific type or theme of data. Physical relief maps can be classified as both....
Mean arterial pressure is a measure of the average pressure in a person’s arteries during one cardiac cycle. Unlike regular blood pressure, MAP only has a single value mentioned in mmHg. It represents the average blood pressure that drives blood to all parts of the body, making it a crucia...

FIRM mapping is first performed in the right atrium, with the endpoint of elimination of all rotors/focal sources using immediate FIRM remapping. This currently takes <1 minute per map, whereas in early trials, remapping was not possible.4 Once all right atrial rotors/foca...
Background: The number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) implanted has been growing and the population who receive the device is older and has more comorbidities. Long bed rest and immobilisation have always been common after the implant, but a consensus does not exist on...
What is cardiac perfusion? What is the acromion? What is a seismograph? What does a sphygmomanometer measure? What direction does a tornado spin? What is a rotating magnetic field? What is a magnetic monopole? What is the Prime Meridian?
Whip out the costumes, the candy and the collection of horror movies we carefully tucked away after too manyalmostcardiac arrests. Speaking of horror movies, ever noticed how every spirit seeking revenge knows almost exactly where its wrong-doers are, what they do, what their schedule is, preci...
Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) is caluculated using the equation: MAP = [(2 x diastolic)+systolic] / 3 The MAP measures the average blood pressure over the entire cardiac cycle of systole and diastole1. Because the heart spends twice as much time in diastole, while chambers fill wit...
