A novel thermochromic myocardial phantom for radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation

Abstract In the growing field of electrophysiology, cardiac ablation either via heating or freezing target tissues using catheters, induces localised scarring to block or destroy defective electrical pathways in the heart. To test equipment and ablation settings, studies have resorted to ex-vivo and...
