Laser induced fluorescence can differentiate nodal conduction tissue from atrial and ventricular endocardium and may provide a new diagnostic tool for the recognition and subsequent ablation of nodal conduction tissue.
Fluorescence emission spectroscopy can differentiate normal and fibrotic endocardium and myocardium, in vitro. This technique may be useful for guidance during laser ablation of arrhythmogenic ventricular scar.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
