Probabilistic guidance for catheter tip motion in cardiac ablation procedures

Heart rhythm disorders are serious conditions affecting the cardiac contraction and output, which can lead to stroke and sudden death. Worldwide, 33.5 million people suffer from atrial fibrillation, with additional patients presenting with atrial and ventricular tachycardias, atrial flutter and other arrhythmias (Chugh  et al., 2014). Rhythm disorders are poorly tolerated in particular by patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), such as Tetralogy of Fallot or univentricular hearts treated by Fontan procedure.
