Evaluation of Ablation Lesions Using Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Sponsor: R&D Cardiologie
Summary
Ineffective ablation lesions can cause arrhythmia recurrence after catheter ablation for cardiac arrhythmia. Ablation lesions can be created with various ablation energy modalities. This study uses cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging to evaluate the ablation lesion characteristics of radiofrequency ablation, ultra-low temperature cryo ablation, and pulsed field ablation. The ablation lesion characteristics of different energy characteristics will be compared. Additionally, arrhythmia recurrence and quality of life will be evaluated for the different energy modalities.

Conditions
Interventions
Catheter ablation
An ablation catheter is introduced in the heart. Ablation is performed by applying ablation energy to the target tissue. The aim of ablation is to create an ablation lesion that does not conduct the electrical signals that induce or sustain the cardiac arrhythmia.
