Online Myocardial Viability Assessment in the Catheterization Laboratory via NOGA Electroanatomic Mapping

Abstract

These results indicate that the unipolar voltage potentials obtained by electroanatomic mapping correlate well with standard quantitative late resting (201)Tl imaging for the evaluation of myocardial viability; thus, NOGA endocardial mapping provides useful "online" data at the time of catheterization, especially when information from other methods for viability assessment is unavailable.
