In this review, we outline contemporary and upcoming electroanatomic technologies focusing on new mapping tools especially in catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. The number of catheter ablations has been increasing exponentially in the last few years due to technological advancements enabling complex ablation strategies. The quality of the contemporary systems of electroanatomic mapping is sufficiently high in terms of both standard ablations, such as isolation of pulmonary veins, and evaluation and elimination of complex arrhythmias. New instruments and devices are coming out to facilitate the process of understanding arrhythmias and thus simplify their elimination. The trend shows a deflection from fluoroscopy towards more advanced technologies.
