Data collected by an electrophysiology catheter during an ablation procedure. such as a pulmonary vein isolation, can be visualized using an electroanatomical mapping system. The mapping system receives data points measured by the catheter, each of which includes localization information and at least one procedure metric. The system then applies an ablation procedure model to the data points. The model facilitates relating the data points to one or more anatomical features using the localization data and/or relating the data points to an ablation procedure outcome using the metric(s). This allows the system to generate map(s) of the metric(s) and output visualization(s) of the map(s). The visualization(s) can include two-dimensional schematic anatomical representation(s) of the metric(s) and/or two-dimensional representation(s) of the metric(s) versus time. Various metrics, including, but not limited to, contact angle, contact force, and catheter stability, can be visualized.
