Zusammenfassung:In some embodiments, a system for optical tissue interrogation comprises a catheter having a plurality of electrodes disposed in an array at a distal end of the catheter, the plurality of electrodes being configured to deliver ablation energy to tissue; and one or more optical fibers extending through the catheter to deliver light from a light source to the tissue and to deliver optical information comprising nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrogen (NADH) fluorescence from the tissue to a sensor, wherein each electrode of the plurality of electrodes is associated with at least one of the one or more optical fibers.
