New Heart Tech Maps All 4 Chambers in One Beat

Cardiologists just gained a superpower: the ability to see everything happening inside a beating heart, all at the same time.

Corify Care's new mapping system, detailed in Communications Medicine, can track electrical signals across all four heart chambers simultaneously. It's the first technology to show not just the heart's surface but also what's happening deep inside the heart walls where dangerous rhythm problems often hide.

Current heart mapping systems work like trying to understand a symphony by listening to one instrument at a time. Doctors examine one chamber, then another, piecing together clues about where abnormal rhythms originate. They often miss circuits buried in heart muscle or pathways that span multiple chambers.

The new system changes everything. It captures a complete 3D map in a single heartbeat, showing physicians exactly how electrical signals travel through tissue before they begin treatment.

"For the first time, we can non-invasively see the heart as it truly behaves globally," said Dr. Felipe Atienza, Chief Medical Officer at Corify Care. The technology eliminates blind spots that have plagued cardiac care for decades.

This matters most during ablation procedures, where doctors use catheters to disable faulty electrical pathways causing dangerous arrhythmias. Without complete visibility, they sometimes treat the wrong areas or miss critical pathways entirely. Patients may need repeat procedures, longer hospital stays, or continue living with debilitating symptoms.

The Ripple Effect

More than 12 million Americans will develop atrial fibrillation by 2030, and ventricular tachycardia causes thousands of sudden cardiac deaths annually. Better mapping means more successful first-time treatments and fewer complications.

The system, called ACORYS, is already approved in Europe and awaiting FDA review for the U.S. market. Corify Care is integrating the technology with existing catheter navigation systems so hospitals can adopt it without overhauling their cardiac labs.

Dr. Andreu Climent, the company's CEO, believes the impact will extend beyond individual patients. "A global view means faster decisions, more targeted ablations, and the potential to reduce procedure time and complexity," he said. Shorter procedures mean lower costs, reduced radiation exposure, and quicker recovery times.

The technology could also help doctors tackle cases they previously considered too risky or complex. Arrhythmias that originate in the septum (the wall between heart chambers) or involve multiple chambers simultaneously have been notoriously difficult to treat. Now physicians can see these patterns clearly before making the first incision.

Corify Care will present new clinical data on treating atrial fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia at the AF Symposium in Boston this February, showcasing real-world results from early adopters.

After decades of working partially blind, heart specialists finally have the full picture.
