Abstract
En 中文
Aims Substrate based catheter ablation strategies are widely employed for treatment of scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT). We analysed intracardiac electrograms (EGMs) from close-coupled paced extrastimuli extracted from the EnSite Precision mapping system. We sought to characterize EGM responses of ventricular myocardium to varying coupling intervals from the right ventricular apex (RVA) in both healthy individuals and patients presenting with VT for catheter ablation. Methods and results Extrastimuli were delivered from the RVA after estimation of the ventricular effective refractory period. Electrograms were recorded from high-density mapping catheters in the left ventricle and exported for analysis to MATLAB. Observational data were collected from 14 patients with ischaemic VT (mean age 72.4 +/- 6.3 years, one female) and five controls (mean age 59.4 +/- 7.4 years, one female). These derived data were used to inform an interventional strategy on a further 10 patients (mean age 64.7 +/- 10.0 years; two female). Significant differences were observed in EGM duration (ED) and latency (LT) at all coupling intervals between VT patients and controls. Significant increases in ED and LT with decreased RVA coupling interval were observed at VT isthmuses. Abnormal responses derived from control subject data were used to classify four types of ventricular EGM response. Targeting sites with abnormal LT and ED significantly reduced VT inducibility (5/14 derivation patients to 0/10 intervention patients; P = 0.03). Conclusion Paced electrogram feature analysis is a novel tool to characterize the ischaemic substrate. Association with VT isthmuses and early ablation results suggest a possible role in substrate ablation for ischaemic VT.
