“…The term "electrophysiologic mapping" in this context was introduced by Cobb and associates in 1968 (14), and it means a careful, time-related morphological evaluation of the spread of excitation by systematic measurement of local activations ("depolarization mapping") from endocardial, epicardial and intra mural positions. The technique of electrophysiologic mapping, used by electrophysiologists since 1913 primarily for electrophysiological research (9,18,19,48,49,50,58,105,110,119) has become more popular in recent years due to its increasing clinical importance in the field of open heart surgery (17,25,27,31,36,65,66,79,92,93).…”

Intraoperative mapping is a method to document the surgical anatomy of cardiac tissues with electrophysiologic importance cartographically at time of surgery. The presented communication gives a survey of the present status of the technique of electrophysiologic mapping and its essential clinical applications. Special attention in this regard is directed to the intraoperative identification of the specialized AV conduction system in congenital cardiac malformations with unpredictable location of His bundle, to the detection of accessory AV bundles in patients with the Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome and to the intraoperative morphological study of ventricular reentry tachycardias. Suitable technical equipment for "clinical" intraoperative electrophysiologic mapping is described in detail.
