Dr. Yang: Unparalleled Clarity in Cardiac Mapping Video
Listen to Dr. Felix Yang from Maimonides Medical Center in New York City talk about how RHYTHMIA HDx has surpassed the clarity of other cardiac mapping and navigation systems. “Whereas frequently we only have a rough idea of how an arrhythmia would propagate and we may deliver empiric ablation lines to treat them, the high-definition maps acquired by the system allow us to actually see what are the critical components of an arrhythmia circuit.”
