“Our new EnSite Precision cardiac mapping system was designed to give the physician a means to precisely navigate within the heart, provide higher density diagnostic data to better inform their diagnosis and allow them to use the tools that make sense for each individual patient and situation,” said Dr. Srijoy Mahapatra, vice president of clinical, medical and scientific affairs for St. Jude Medical. “The system’s intelligent automation tools enable faster, more accurate high-density maps with greater consistency across cases, which are important factors in addressing the needs of today’s EP labs.”

The EnSite Precision cardiac mapping system is flexible and enhances workflow efficiency by allowing physicians to map heart chambers with any electrophysiology catheter and customize procedures to address the circumstances of each case. The St. Jude Medical EnSite Precision cardiac mapping system and the company’s sensor enabled tools also allow catheter navigation to occur with minimal fluoroscopy, thus reducing potential for risks associated with excessive radiation exposure.
The launch of the EnSite Precision cardiac mapping system includes other portfolio advancements that include new surface electrodes (patches) and sensor-enabled mapping catheters. These new tools along with the TactiCath™ Quartz contact force ablation catheter are part of the company’s comprehensive EP portfolio to help optimize clinical outcomes for treating arrhythmias.
About Cardiac Ablation
When physicians use catheter ablation to treat abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias), several long, flexible tubes with wires — called catheters — are inserted into the heart. Diagnostic catheters record electrical information from the heart and display it in a three-dimensional anatomical model, which is used to study the abnormal rhythm.
Another catheter is used for the actual ablation. The doctor positions the ablation catheter so it lies on or very close to the targeted tissue. The small area of heart tissue under the tip of the ablation catheter is heated by high-frequency energy, creating a lesion or tiny scar. As a result, this tissue is no longer capable of conducting or sustaining the arrhythmia.
About St. Jude Medical’s Electrophysiology (EP) Business
St. Jude Medical’s electrophysiology (EP) business is one of the fastest growing segments within St. Jude Medical’s portfolio. The company’s EP product portfolio gives physicians the diagnostic, access, mapping and therapy solutions they need with designed integration for enhanced diagnosis and treatment of heart arrhythmias. A leader in collaborating with world-renowned electrophysiologists, clinicians and hospital administrators, St. Jude Medical develops safe and cost-effective treatment solutions for patients in need of advanced ablation therapies. The EnSite Precision cardiac mapping system was developed to be used seamlessly with the existing portfolio of St. Jude Medical™ EP products, including the TactiCath Quartz Ablation Catheter System, the FlexAbility™ Ablation Catheter, the Ampere™ RF Generator and the Agilis™ NxT Steerable Introducer.
