  • Analysis of signal morphology, field of view, and signal-to-noise ratio across different catheter types.
  • Assessment of mapping capabilities including density, resolution, and electrode configurations (micro-, mini-, multi-electrodes).
  • Discussion on efficiency and cost-effectiveness of contemporary catheter technologies.

Main Results:

  • Smaller electrodes and increased sampling density enhance mapping resolution and near-field signal acquisition.
  • Differences in unipolar/bipolar morphology and field of view impact substrate characterization.
  • Catheter-specific voltage thresholds require careful consideration for accurate interpretation.

Conclusions:

  • Advanced catheter technology with higher resolution mapping improves substrate characterization.
  • Enhanced understanding of electrical substrate-arrhythmia correlation is facilitated by new technologies.
  • Improved mechanistic insights into ventricular tachycardia and macro-reentry arrhythmias are anticipated.
