Changes in Regional and Global Cardiac Contractility After Stimulation in Scar Zone With the NOGA System

Brief Summary

Despite a decrease in voltage amplitude in post-infarction scar areas, greater voltage amplitudes are sometimes observed at the time of local extrasystoles mechanically induced by catheters. However, no study has investigated whether these electrical changes are associated with mechanical changes in local contractility. However, the voltage is closely correlated to the local contractile function as evidenced by the use of the NOGA system.
