Epicardial mapping was carried out in 20 patients suffering from Wolff-Parkinson-White's syndrome with supraventricular tachycardias resistant to drug therapy. The automated mapping system elaborated at the A.N. Bakulev Cardiovascular Surgery Institute and a modified method of epicardial mapping made it possible to radically eliminate additional routes of conduction in 91% of cases.

Using specially designed electrodes, an automated system for arrhythmia diagnosis and an all-purpose programmed electrocardiostimulator, the authors succeeded in obtaining a precise real-time chart of the electrical excitation distribution on the heart surface. The system was tested during open heart surgery in patients with congenital heart disease.
