The CARTO system provides a highly accurate geometric rendering of a cardiac chamber with a straightforward geometric display that has the capability to determine the 3-D location and orientation of the ablation catheter accurately.
The capability of the CARTO mapping system to associate relevant EP information with the appropriate spatial location in the heart and the ability to study activation patterns (with high spatial resolution [less than 1 mm]) during tachycardia in relation to normal anatomical structures and areas of scar significantly facilitate the mapping and ablation procedure. It allows for defining the mechanism(s) underlying the arrhythmia, rapid distinction between a focal origin and macroreentrant tachycardia, and rapid visualization of the activation wavefront (propagation maps; Fig. 8-11), facilitating the identification of appropriate sites for entrainment mapping and pace mapping.
