An ablation catheter for treating electrical rhythm disorders includes an array of sensor electrodes to detect electrical signals to determine a location of a target region for treatment. If the catheter is not optimally positioned at the target region, a controller uses the detected signals to guide movement of the catheter towards the target region. Once proper positioning is ascertained, the controller activates ablation components within the catheter to deliver energy to modify tissue at the target region. |
