Since the first report of radiofrequency catheter ablation curing atrial fibrillation (AF) nearly a decade ago, numerous techniques have evolved, from linear ablation to modify the reentrant sustrate for AF, to electrical isolation of pulmonary vein to eliminate triggers of AF, to hibrid approaches of circunferential ablation around and between the pulmonary veins and mitral valve annulus to modify both the triggers and sustrate for AF. We describe the electroanatomic mapping system (CARTO, Biosense Webster) and its use in patients undergoing catheter ablation for AF.
自从近十年前首次报道射频导管消融治愈心房颤动（AF）以来，已经发展出了许多技术，从用于改变AF折返基质的线性消融，到用于消除AF触发因素的肺静脉电隔离，再到围绕肺静脉和二尖瓣环及其之间进行环周消融以同时改变AF触发因素和基质的杂交方法。我们描述了电解剖标测系统（CARTO，Biosense Webster公司）及其在接受AF导管消融患者中的应用。
