Authors' objectives:
CARTO is a nonfluoroscopic electroanatomical cardiac mapping system that provides simultaneous electrophysiological and spatial information and displays a threedimensional reconstruction of the cardiac chambers. This information can be utilized to detect the originating site of certain arrhythmias and to guide radiofrequency ablation of regions of the myocardium that trigger or propagate the abnormal cardiac rhythm. The goal of CARTO is to improve the accuracy of cardiac mapping and to decrease the need for fluoroscopic imaging, thereby reducing exposure of the patient and surgical team to ionizing radiation.
