Voltage-sensitive optical mapping for atrial fibrillation ablation treatment

In recent years radiofrequency energy sources have been utilized in patients with atrial fibrillation to ablate atrial tissue and restore normal sinus rhythm. Radiofrequency ablations significantly minimize time in surgery, and hence postoperative complications, but as yet do not duplicate the ablat...
