چکیده

BACKGROUND Substrate-based ablation is useful for nonhemodynamically tolerated postinfarct ventricular tachycardia. We assessed the accuracy of the CARTO contact and EnSite noncontact systems at identifying scar in a chronic ovine model with intramural plunge needle electrode recording and histological validation. METHODS AND RESULTS Scar mapping was performed on 8 male sheep with previous percutaneous-induced myocardial infarction. Up to 20 plunge needles were inserted into the left ventricle of each animal in areas of dense scar, scar border, and normal myocardium. A simultaneous CARTO map and EnSite geometry were acquired using a single catheter, and needle electrode locations were registered. A dynamic substrate map was constructed using ratiometric 50% peak negative voltage. The scar percentage around each needle location was quantified histologically. Analysis was performed on 152 plunge needles and corresponding histological blocks. Spearman correlation with histology was 0.690 (P<0.001) for needle electrode peak-to-peak voltage (PPV), 0.362 (P<0.001) and 0.492 (P<0.001) for CARTO bipolar and unipolar PPV, and 0.381 (P<0.001) for EnSite dynamic substrate map (< or =40 mm from array). The area under the receiver operator characteristics curve (<50% and > or =50% scar) was 0.896 for needle electrode PPV, 0.726 and 0.697 for CARTO bipolar and unipolar PPV, and 0.703 for EnSite dynamic substrate map (< or=40 mm from array). CONCLUSIONS Both the CARTO contact and EnSite noncontact systems were moderately accurate in identifying postinfarct scar when compared with intramural electrodes and confirmed with histology. The EnSite dynamic substrate map was comparable to the CARTO contact bipolar PPV when points >40 mm from the array were excluded.

Value of noncontact mapping for identifying left ventricular scar in an ovine model.

BACKGROUND We assessed the hypothesis that "virtual electrograms" from a noncontact mapping system (EnSite 3000) could be used to localize myocardial scar. METHODS AND RESULTS Myocardial infarctions were induced in sheep by inflating an angioplasty balloon in the left anterior descending coronary artery for 3 hours. Scar mapping was performed on 8 sheep without inducible ventricular tachycard...

Organization of myocardial activation during ventricular fibrillation after myocardial infarction: evidence for sustained high-frequency sources.

BACKGROUND Studies of ventricular fibrillation (VF) in small mammals have revealed localized sustained stationary reentry. However, studies in large mammals with surface mapping techniques have demonstrated only relatively short-lived rotors. The purpose of this study was to identify whether sustained high-frequency activation with low beat-to-beat variability was present at intramural sites in...

Comparison of noncontact and electroanatomic mapping to identify scar and arrhythmia late after the Fontan procedure.

BACKGROUND The right atrium late after the Fontan procedure is characterized by multiple complex arrhythmia circuits. We performed simultaneous electroanatomic and noncontact mapping to assess the accuracy of both systems to identify scar and arrhythmia. METHODS AND RESULTS Mapping was performed in 26 patients aged 26.8+/-8.9 years, 18.7+/-4.4 years after Fontan surgery. The area and site of ...

Validation of a new noncontact catheter system for electroanatomic mapping of left ventricular endocardium.

BACKGROUND Improvements in cardiac mapping are required to advance our understanding and treatment of arrhythmias. This study validated a new noncontact multielectrode array catheter and accompanying analysis system to provide electroanatomic mapping of the entire left ventricular (LV) endocardium during a single beat. METHODS AND RESULTS A 9F 64-electrode balloon array catheter with an infla...

Correlation of Scar in Cardiac MRI and High‐Resolution Contact Mapping of Left Ventricle in a Chronic Infarct Model

BACKGROUND Endocardial mapping for scars and abnormal electrograms forms the most essential component of ventricular tachycardia ablation. The utility of ultra-high resolution mapping of ventricular scar was assessed using a multielectrode contact mapping system in a chronic canine infarct model. METHODS Chronic infarcts were created in five anesthetized dogs by ligating the left anterior des...
