Pace mapping stands as a pivotal method within the realm of electrophysiology, utilized to investigate and pinpoint the origins of abnormal heart rhythms, commonly known as arrhythmias. In this diagnostic procedure, a comprehensive map of the heart's electrical activity is meticulously crafted by pacing the heart at various points. This involves the systematic stimulation of diverse regions of the heart to analyze responses, enabling healthcare professionals to identify potential sites responsible for arrhythmias. With its ability to guide ablation procedures, pace mapping aids electrophysiologists in precisely targeting and eliminating abnormal tissue, which is the root cause of irregular heartbeats. The precision offered by this technique significantly enhances the success rates of ablation procedures, ultimately contributing to a more effective and tailored approach to managing cardiac arrhythmias.
