Abstract
Aspects of the instant disclosure relate to an electrophysiological catheter system for performing diagnostics and therapies within a cardiac muscle; more specifically, to a deformable body, at a distal end of a catheter, that deforms in response to a force being exerted upon a tip of the catheter. The deformation of the deformable body being measured by a measurement device, and the deformation associated with both a magnitude and vector of the force exerted upon the catheter tip.
