Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A system (500) includes an anchor (32), a delivery tool (510), and a data-processing system (521). The delivery tool is configured to deliver the anchor to the heart of the subject, and to drive the anchor into tissue (10) of the heart. The data-processing system is adapted to, subsequently to the delivery tool delivering the anchor to the heart, receive, via the delivery tool, a first electrical signal from the anchor, at the tissue, the anchor serving as an electrode. The data-processing system is adapted to receive, via the delivery tool, a second electrical signal from a distal part of the delivery tool within the heart. The data-processing system is adapted to, responsively to both the first signal and the second signal, determine a location of the anchor within the heart, and provide an output indicative of the location. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
