Effects of radiofrequency ablation on monoplasic action potentials.

Reliable MAP (monophasic action potential) measurements were performed during RF delivery with a commercially available ablation system and fractally coated catheters based on an established mechanical design. The obtained results promise an important step forward in online monitoring of the MAP sig...
