Application of advanced diagnostic imaging at a provincial hospital Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital has recently commissioned the 3D Electro-anatomical Mapping System. This cutting-edge technology allows for the detailed reconstruction of cardiac structures in three-dimensional space, integrating real-time electrophysiological signals. This enables medical teams to precisely locate abnormal electrical impulses—the root cause of complex arrhythmias such as atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter, or ventricular tachycardia.
Enhancing safety and optimizing intervention efficacy Compared to traditional methods, the 3D system provides continuous monitoring of the catheter’s position and contact force. This not only ensures precise energy delivery to avoid damaging surrounding healthy tissue but also significantly reduces X-ray exposure for both patients and medical staff. Notably, this technique offers substantial benefits for sensitive groups, such as children or pregnant women, by allowing procedures to be performed with near-zero radiation.
Advancing specialized local healthcare Mastering this technology at the provincial level enables the definitive treatment of difficult, recurrent cases or patients with anomalous cardiac structures within the local area. This achievement not only reduces the financial burden and travel time for local residents but also helps alleviate the pressure on major cardiovascular centers in Hanoi. It serves as evidence of the narrowing gap in professional expertise between different levels of healthcare in the field of electrophysiological intervention.
