PY - 2011 T2 - Multimodal Cardiovascular Imaging: Principles and Clinical Applications AB - The purpose of cardiovascular electrophysiologic mapping is to define the anatomic sequence of myocardial activation, both at baseline and/or with arrhythmia. There have been tremendous technologic advances in this area1 that have created fertile ground for the integration of multiple imaging modalities. High-level integration begins with preprocedural assessment of electrophysiologic properties revealed by the 12-lead surface electrocardiogram (ECG) viewed in the context of patient demographics and history.2,3 Further information is added during invasive electrophysiologic mapping with assessment of intracardiac electrograms viewed in the context of cardiac anatomy.4,5 The fusion of functional electrophysiologic data with anatomic data in the electrophysiology laboratory facilitates catheter navigation, data annotation, and direct visualization of target sites for therapy. Following an invasive electrophysiologic mapping procedure, there are likewise multiple imaging modalities useful for assessing response to therapy, excluding complications, and directing future diagnostic and therapeutic decisions.6 SN - PB - The McGraw-Hill Companies CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/03/29 UR - accesscardiology.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=8762065 ER -
