Electrophysiology Research Foundation, Warren Simultaneous biatrial and noncontact mapping permits successful AF mapping.
June 21st, 2005
A recent report describes biatrial and 3-dimensional mapping of spontaneous atrial arrhythmias in patients with refractory atrial fibrillation.
According to researchers writing in the Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, "While atrial fibrillation (AF) initiation in the pulmonary veins has been well-studied, simultaneous biatrial and 3-dimensional noncontact mapping (NCM) has not been performed. We hypothesized that these two techniques would provide novel information on triggers, initiation, and evolution of spontaneous AF and permit study of different AF populations."

The Electrophysiology Research Foundation
The Electrophysiology Research Foundation is a charitable organization incorporated on August 2, 1982. The Foundation is a non-profit corporation, organized and operated exclusively for charitable purposes.
Our Vision
The foundation supports the vision that the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias and dissemination of knowledge related to heart rhythm disorders to the public, health care professionals, and educational fora worldwide will enhance and improve public health and meet a worldwide need. The foundation promotes training of health care professionals, provides funding for research and helps execute research projects in partnership with investigators and health care institutions. The Foundation is committed to worldwide promotion of the science of cardiac electrophysiology and implantable device therapy for cardiac arrhythmias.
