Summary

This study will occur in patients undergoing routine cardiac ablation of his/her arrhythmia with planned use of an irrigated ablation catheter. The main objective of this study is to take intracardiac pressure measurements and pressure waveforms with both a "gold standard" balloon tipped pulmonary artery catheter placed for this study and an irrigated ablation catheter placed as standard of care for the procedure.

Experimental Treatment

Group I: Irrigated ablation catheter and 5F balloon tipped PA catheterExperimental Treatment2 Interventions

Participants undergoing cardiac ablation will have cardiac pressures measured with an irrigated ablation catheter (standard protocol for this procedure) and a 5F balloon tipped pulmonary artery (PA) catheter (for study purposes only).
