ABSTRACT:
A cardiac ablation catheter includes a distal, energy delivering electrode and at least one sensing electrode proximal to the energy delivering electrode. The catheter communicates with an electrosurgical generator which provides electrical energy, such as a radio frequency energy, to the distal electrode. The sensing electrodes communicate with a monitor for recording electrical signals within the heart. One or more resistors is positioned adjacent each sensing electrode, and in series with a conductor associated with the sensing electrode, to reduce or eliminate any current tending to be emitted through the sensing electrodes as a result of delivery of electrical current through the distal electrode.
