More Information
Summary:Disclosed is a sensor for a catheter comprising: a first coil at a location within the catheter and electrically insulated by the catheter, for outputting signals for determining the position of the first coil within the body; and, a second coil along the outside of the catheter, the second coil including an uninsulated portion of a predetermined number of windings configured to output 1) electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, and, 2) signals indicative of voltages corresponding to tissue impedance from a magnetic field through body tissues and/or fluids.
