Electroanatomic mapping enhances endomyocardial biopsies by identifying abnormal heart tissue. This novel technique, using three-dimensional electroanatomic mapping (3DEAM), improves diagnostic yield and safety for suspected cardiomyopathies.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Medical Imaging
- Electrophysiology
Background:
- Standard endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) can have limitations in diagnostic yield.
- Electroanatomic mapping (EAM) offers potential to guide procedures and identify abnormal cardiac tissue.
- Integrating EAM with EMB may improve pathological identification.
