A New Technique to Perform Epicardial Mapping in the Electrophysiology Laboratory

Epicardial Mapping. Introduction: A possible epicardial site of origin may be the reason for unsuccessful endocardial application of radiofrequency energy to control recurrent ventricular tachycardia. This study tests the feasibility and safety of a new epicardial mapping technique in patients with Chagas’ disease and recurrent ventricular tachycardia.
