The understanding of atrial fibrillation (AF) evolved from a sole rhythm disturbance towards
the complex concept of a cardiomyopathy based on arrhythmia substrates. There is …

Introduction Radiofrequency catheter ablation is a cornerstone of treatment for many cardiac
arrhythmias. Progression in three‐dimensional mapping and contact‐force sensing …

Aims Radiofrequency ablation creates irreversible cardiac damage through resistive heating
and this temperature change results in a generator impedance drop. Evaluation of a novel …

Background Post–myocardial infarction ventricular tachycardia (VT) is due to re-entry
through surviving conductive myocardial corridors across infarcted tissue. However, not all …

Background The combination of contact force (CF) and local impedance (LI) may improve
tissue characterization and lesion prediction during radiofrequency (RF) ablation. Objective …

Background The clinical performance of high-power, short-duration (HPSD) pulmonary vein
isolation (PVI) with the novel flexible tip TactiFlex™(TFSE) catheter, as compared to …

Background Highly localized impedance (LI) measurements during atrial fibrillation (AF)
ablation have recently emerged as a viable real‐time indicator of tissue characteristics and …

Introduction Recently, a novel technology able to measure local impedance (LI) and tissue
characteristics has been made available for clinical use. This analysis explores the …

Objectives This analysis was performed to evaluate the transition of local impedance (LI)
drop during pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) to durable block and mature lesion formation …

Purpose Clinical implication of local impedance (LI) for radiofrequency (RF) ablation has not
been fully established. This study aimed to investigate this point using IntellaNav MiFi OI TM …
