Cardiac Diseases
It is estimated that 1.5-5% of the American population has experienced an arrhythmia. These arrhythmias often become life threatening. As such, the electrical activity of the heart should be assessed so that arrhythmias may be prevented before they become fatal.
EP Catheters
Electrophysiology (EP) catheters are a popular technology used by healthcare providers to measure the electrical activity of the heart. These measurements allow for early and minimally invasive detection of electrophysiological abnormalities in the heart.
EP Catheters can be used for intra-cardiac
- sensing
- recording
- stimulation
- mapping
Many electrophysiology catheters are currently in development and production. However, given the invasiveness of catheters, devices are needed to test the effectiveness of new catheters outside the body.
