Comparison of Endocardial Catheter Mapping with Intraoperative Mapping of Ventricular Tachyeardia

چکیده
To validate the accuracy of catheter endocardial mapping to localize the origin of ventricular tachycardia (VT), we compared catheter endocardial mapping with intraoperative epicardial and endocardial mapping of 24 morphologically distinct VTs in 18 patients undergoing surgery. Twelve had VT with left bundle branch block morphology and 12 had VT with right bundle branch block morphology. Catheter endocardial mapping localized 23 VT morphologies to the border of a left ventricular aneurysm or myocardial infarction and one VT to a right ventriculotomy scar. Intraoperative epicardial mapping showed epicardial breakthrough

متن کاملRelationship between the 12-lead electrocardiogram during ventricular tachycardia and endocardial site of origin in patients with coronary artery disease.
Previous studies in patients with sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) have demonstrated the efficacy of surgical and catheter-mediated ablative procedures based on activation mapping during VT. Since extensive preoperative or intraoperative mapping may be impractical due to time constraints or patient intolerance, we sought to define characteristics of the 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) dur...
متن کاملLocalization of the site of origin of postinfarction ventricular tachycardia by endocardial pace mapping. Body surface mapping compared with the 12-lead electrocardiogram.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to assess the value of body surface mapping and the standard 12-lead ECG in localizing the site of origin of postinfarction ventricular tachycardia (VT) during endocardial pace mapping of the left ventricle. METHODS AND RESULTS Simultaneous recordings of 62-lead body surface QRS integral maps and scalar 12-lead ECG tracings were obtained in 16 patients...

متن کاملEndocardial activation mapping of ventricular tachycardia in patients : first application of a 32-site bipolar mapping electrode catheter.
BACKGROUND Localization of early activated endocardial areas during ventricular tachycardia (VT) is mandatory for performance of surgical or radiofrequency catheter interventions. The use of a multielectrode catheter may shorten the procedure time and increase the accuracy of the procedure compared with single-electrode mapping techniques. This study was performed to evaluate the safety and eff...
