PALPATION OF INTRA-CARDIAC BLOOD FLOW, PRESSURE, CONTACT FORCE AND MOTOR REACTION TIME OF SUBJECTS USING A NOVEL HAPTIC FEEDBACK SYSTEM

SMART AF showed that consistent contact during ablation improves pulmonary vein (PV) isolation but use of contact force (CF) displays led to a 2.5% risk of tamponade and required procedural, ablation, fluoroscopy times of 3.7 +/- 1.4 h, 2.0 +/- 1 h and 41.5 +/- 26 min. When the HRS Consensus
