Cardiac catheterization is performed with a catheter having a basket-shaped assembly at its distal end. A plurality of spline electrodes are disposed on the splines of the assembly. The assembly is configurable in an expanded arrangement wherein the splines bow radially outwardly and in a collapsed arrangement, wherein the splines are arranged generally along the longitudinal axis of the catheter body. A far-field electrode is disposed in the interior of the assembly. An intracardiac electrogram and a far-field electrogram are obtained with at least one of the spline electrodes and the far-field electrode, respectively. The far-field component is removed from the intracardiac electrogram using the far-field electrogram. |
