Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a major cause of unnatural death worldwide, so timely diagnosis of CVD is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Although the traditional diagnostic tools can locate plaque and observe inner wall of blood vessel structure, they commonly have radioactivity and cannot detect the chemical composition of the plaque accurately. Recently emerging Raman techniques can detect the plaque composition precisely, and have the advantages of being fast, high-resolution and marker-free.

Background: High-resolution mapping offers superior accuracy in delineating conduction features; however, certain characteristics are still linked to elevated recurrence rates of atrial tachycardia (AT), suggesting the influence of additional mechanisms. This study systematically assessed the substrate of functional conduction block (FCB) regions in relation to the mechanisms of multiple ATs.

Methods: In this study, the Carto system facilitated the mapping of ATs in 13 patients undergoing ablation, each presenting with more than two AT variants.
