The quality of catheter-tissue contact is one of the most important determinants of catheter ablation (CA) success. The absence of catheter-tissue contact feedback has been regarded a major limitation of remote magnetic navigation (RMN)-guided CA. The e-Contact module (ECM) is a novel feature designed for RMN that measures the quality of catheter-tissue contact.
