A dynamic model of radio frequency catheter ablation for the treatment of cardiac arrhythmias.

Accurate knowledge of the spatial and temporal temperature distribution within the myocardium would be of value in predicting lesion size and shape during radio frequency (RF) catheter ablation. Finite difference solutions of the Laplace equation, which models power delivery by the RF catheter, and...
