CARDIAC METHODS AND SYSTEM

摘要

The system (20) comprises a magnetic medical device, such as electrophysiology catheter (22) having a magnetically responsive element (24) associated with its distal end, which is disposed on the patient's heart (P). The catheter (20) is magnetically navigated to and through the heart through the application of external magnetic field from the source magnet (44), which aligns the magnet element (22), and thus the distal end of the catheter (22), with the magnetic field.
