Abstract

This study introduces Latin America's first comprehensive setup for both invasive and non-invasive electrical mapping, complemented by panoramic optical mapping, with the primary objective of developing a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to process and analyze the generated optical data. By creating a GUI capable of handling and producing investigative maps from optical mapping, non-invasive electrical mapping, and invasive electrical mapping data, the research aims to enable precise studies of complex arrhythmias and enhance current commercial electrophysiology systems. This innovative approach holds promise for advancing cardiac electrophysiology research in Latin America and improving clinical diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular diseases and arrhythmias.
