Abstract

An apparatus includes a processor and an output device. The processor is configured to receive positions, within a heart of a patient, of one or more electrodes that apply Radio Frequency (RF) energy to ablate tissue in the heart, in a coordinate system having a vertical axis. The processor is further configured to receive positions, within a heart of a patient, of one or more electrodes that apply Radio Frequency (RF) energy to ablate tissue in the heart, in a coordinate system having a vertical axis, and to calculate, based on the received positions, a subset of one or more smallest heights among respective heights of the electrodes above an esophagus of the patient along the vertical axis, and to generate a graphical user interface that visualizes the electrodes and the respective heights above the esophagus. The output device is configured to present the graphical user interface to a user.
