Abstract :
The authors describe the use of a new body surface potential mapping (BSPM) system for arrhythmia treatment in Helsinki University Central Hospital. First, the implementation of the mapping system is presented. Then, the method´s clinical use is described and finally, the benefits for radiofrequency ablation therapy are considered
