Multicentre randomised trial comparing contact force with electrical coupling index in atrial flutter ablation (VERISMART trial).

<h4>Introduction</h4>Electrical coupling index (ECI) and contact force (CF) have been developed to aid lesion formation during catheter ablation. ECI measures tissue impedance and capacitance whilst CF measures direct contact. The aim was to determine whether the presence of catheter / t...
