Background: Substrate analysis of the left atrium in patients undergoing atrial fibrillation ablation has limitations when performed by means of simple bipolar acquisition.

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of low-voltage zones (LVZs) through maps constructed by means of various catheters: multipolar (MC), omnipolar (OC), and circular catheters (CMCs) with the 3D electro-anatomical systems (3d-S) CARTO3 and EnSite Precision.

Methods: To assess LVZs, we acquired maps by means of CMC and MC in the voltage range 0.

Background: Atrial Fibrillation ablation in older patients represents a challenge to be addressed to ensure the improvement of the quality of life and survival of these patients. New mapping system tools can help to treat older patients because of its ability to simplify and reduce procedural risks. The new NavX EnSite "Live view" tool allows dynamic "beat to beat" activation and voltage mapping visualization in order to instantly recognize vein disconnection and minimize RF deliveries.
