A novel, sensor-based, electromagnetic, non-fluoroscopic catheter visualization (NFCV) system shows tracked catheters directly on pre-acquired fluoroscopy or cine loops. We aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of this system in the setting of catheter ablation for idiopathic premature ventricular con...
