Volta Medical products

Real time analysis: VX1 provides state-of-the-art analysis in real-time, ensuring optimal usability. Precision: its integration allows for high density mapping in both atria. Intellectual Property: Volta’s technology is protected internationally with multiple patents. Data Driven: VX1 algorithm has been trained on large, carefully curated databases. Our goal is to mimic the expertise of trained physicians and reduce inter-operator variability in identifying specific abnormal electrograms.

DISPERSION LOCATION : Multipolar electrogram abnormality associated with the perpetuation of atrial fibrillation. Red: highly dispersed electrograms, Orange: dispersed electrograms, Blue: non-dispersed electrograms. MAPPING CATHETER : Steerable, multipolar electrode catheter. Allows for the recording of the local electrical activity. REFERENCE CYCLE LENGTH : Atrial cycle length estimated from recordings obtained with the coronary sinus catheter. MAPPING CYCLE LENGTH : Local cycle length estimated from real-time recordings obtained with the mapping catheter.

The heart beats are generated by the sino-atrial node, a small tissue region in the right atrium. The propagation of impulses to both upper chambers of the heart – i.e the two atria – causes them to contract and move the blood to the lower chambers of the heart, a.k.a the ventricles. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common heart rhythm disturbance in adults. AF is caused by abnormal electrical impulses forming anywhere in the atria. AF may be recorded on an electrocardiogram (ECG). The beating heart of AF patients is fast and irregular. Physicians classify AF according to the duration of arrhythmia episodes. Brief episodes correspond to paroxysmal AF. Longer episodes are known as persistent AF.
