Abstract

Intracardiac echocardiography is emerging as a potentially useful tool during RF ablation procedures. There are a number of potential benefits of direct endocardial visualization during RF ablation including: (1) precise anatomical localization of the ablation catheter tip in relation to important endocardial structures, which cannot be visualized with fluoroscopy; (2) reduction in fluoroscopy time; (3) evaluation of catheter tip tissue contact; (4) confirmation of lesion formation and identification of lesion size and continuity; (5) immediate identification of complications; and (6) as a research tool to help in understanding the critical role played by specific endocardial structures in arrhythmogenesis. This article will review existing data and speculate as to possible future roles for intracardiac echocardiography in interventional electrophysiology.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 3. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 02 May 2006.
All research outputs
#8,535,472
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from Pacing & Clinical Electrophysiology
#588
of 3,285 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#30,043
of 87,841 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Pacing & Clinical Electrophysiology
#122
of 946 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 43rd percentile – i.e., 43% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,285 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.0. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 87,841 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 13th percentile – i.e., 13% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 946 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
