Abstract

Radiofrequency (RF) energy nowadays enjoys an indisputable value as the dominant energy source for the treatment of various arrhythmias amenable to catheter ablation, which has gradually replaced surgical techniques for the treatment of supraventricular and ventricular arrhythmias with electric, thermal, light, mechanical and chemical means. It has become obvious in recent years that the success and sustainable effect of the ablation may depend on a critical understanding of the biophysics of lesion creation and its control.
Keywords: contact force; ablation contact force; ablation
