Use of 3D navigation systems may be sometimes impossible in patients with left ventricular assist devices because of major electromagnetical interferences with some 3D systems based on magnetic localization. Mapping with the Rhythmia ™ system in patients implanted with an Impella ™ is described to be non feasible. We relate how to overcome this technical issues in this case.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how changes in pacing cycle length (PCL) affect the electrical properties of the left atrium during atrial fibrillation ablation, using a high-resolution mapping system.
- Atrial mapping was conducted on 48 patients, revealing that a shorter PCL (300 ms) increased the low-voltage area (LVA) and prolonged activation time, suggesting significant shifts in electrical activity.
- The findings highlight the importance of considering PCL-dependent changes when evaluating LVA and slow conduction areas as potential substrates for atrial fibrillation, indicating their assessments may not be fully valid without this context.

This systematic review aims to summarize the procedural arrhythmia termination rates in catheter ablation (CA) procedures of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias using the commonly used mapping systems (CARTO, Rhythmia and EnSite/NavX). A systematic search in MEDLINE and Cochrane databases through February 2021 was performed. With regard to atrial fibrillation ablation procedures, acute success rates ranged from 15.

Low-voltage areas have been used as atrial structural substrates in estimating fibrotic degeneration in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). The high-resolution maps obtained by recently developed mapping catheters allow the visualization of several functional abnormalities. We investigated the association between left atrial (LA) functional abnormal findings on a high-resolution substrate map and AF recurrence in patients who underwent pulmonary vein isolation without any additional LA substrate ablation.

Biatrial tachycardia (BiAT) is a rare arrhythmia, and identification of the re-entry circuit is often complicated. By creating an activation map of the right atrium, left atrium, and coronary sinus as a single chamber, the LUMIPOINT module of the Rhythmia mapping system (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, MA, USA) can be used in real time to make an accurate diagnosis. Ablation of the Bachmann bundle is a feasible way to terminate BiAT, but might cause interatrial conduction delay and electrical isolation of the left atrial appendage.
