Symmetrical recovery time course between impedance and intramyocardial temperature after bipolar radiofrequency ablation; Role of impedance monitoring to estimate temperature rise

Introduction: During radiofrequency (RF) ablation, impedance monitoring has been used to avoid steam-pop caused by excessive intramyocardial temperature (IMT) rise. However, it is uncertain why the impedance decline is related to steam-pop and whether the impedance decline is correlated to IMT. Meth...
