AB - This chapter describes the different approaches to mapping arrhythmias in the electrophysiology laboratory, including conventional contact catheter mapping techniques and maneuvers, three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping using both contact and non-contact recordings, and also newer mapping approaches for myocardial fibrillation such as phase mapping and dominant frequency mapping. A unipolar electrogram is recorded between an electrode in contact with the myocardium and a fixed distant reference point. In contrast, a bipolar electrogram is recorded between two closely spaced electrodes on the recording catheter, and is derived as the difference between the unipolar electrograms recorded from the two electrodes. Several classic methods exist for mapping arrhythmia foci using contact catheters. A commonly used method is activation sequence mapping. Pace mapping for focal tachycardias is often used in combination with activation mapping. Entrainment can help in distinguishing reentrant tachycardias from those resulting from automaticity or triggered activity.
