Transmural ultrasound imaging of thermal lesion and action potential changes in perfused canine cardiac wedge preparations by high intensity focused ultrasound ablation.

Intra-procedural imaging is important for guiding cardiac arrhythmia ablation. It is difficult to obtain intra-procedural correlation of thermal lesion formation with action potential (AP) changes in the transmural plane during ablation. This study tested parametric ultrasound imaging for transmural...
