Description
Six authors build a frequency based map to guide heart ablation in this 2026 study. Burning away the tissue that drives ventricular tachycardia works only if the guilty substrate is found, and standard signal reading suffers from stray far away signals and operator judgment.
Their workflow takes catheter recordings from twelve patients with weak hearts, converts them to the frequency domain, and projects dominant frequency hotspots onto each patient's own 3D heart mesh. The maps landed within four millimeters of the true sites in every case. Agreement with the spots operators actually chose was measured with soft overlap scores and standard curve analysis, testing whether the map can steer the burn.
