Left Ventricular Electromechanical Mapping: A Case Study of Functional Assessment in Coronary Intervention
AUTOR(ES)
Perin, Emerson C.
RESUMO
Electromechanical mapping is a new diagnostic tool that can be used to identify viable myocardium. In the case reported here, the technique was used before intervention to map areas of viable myocardium; post-intervention mapping showed improved mechanical function of the revascularized areas. Electromechanical mapping offers the potential of assessing left ventricular function in the cardiac catheterization laboratory before and after interventional procedures.
