Aims: The CARTO electrophysiological mapping system has demonstrated accurate results for end-diastolic ventricular volumes in casts and animals. However, in humans, a comparison with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), the non-invasive gold standard for volumetric analysis, has not yet been performed.
Methods And Results: A total of 34 (29 male) heart failure patients (NYHA class III/IV) underwent an electrophysiological mapping procedure with the CARTO system in the left ventricle (LV) (n = 34) and right ventricle (RV) (n = 12) and CMR for RV and LV end-diastolic volume (RVEDV and LVEDV) measurements another day. Mean LVEDV was comparable between CMR and CARTO (328 +/- 95 and 320 +/- 92 mL, respectively; P = NS), whereas RV volumes measured by CARTO were larger (CMR 140 +/- 48 vs. CARTO 176 +/- 47 mL; P < 0.01). Overall, we found a good correlation between CMR and CARTO measurements for both chambers; however, the Bland-Altman analysis showed a non-interchangeability of these methods. Measurement differences were independent of chamber size, but significantly affected by the number of acquired mapping points.
Conclusion: Although CMR and CARTO showed a good correlation in the measurement of RVEDV and LVEDV in a group of heart failure patients, the clinical interchangeability of the two methods may be questioned.

Background: Electroanatomical voltage mapping (EAVM) has been compared with late gadolinium enhancement cardiovascular magnetic resonance (LGE-CMR), which cannot delineate diffuse fibrosis. T1-mapping CMR overcomes the limitations of LGE-CMR, but it has not been directly compared against EAVM.
Objectives: This study aims to assess the relationship between left ventricular (LV) endocardial voltage obtained by EAVM and extracellular volume (ECV) obtained by T1 mapping.

Background: Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) allowed to precisely identify the substrate in scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT). New software has been developed to define the 3D scar and corridors to help VT ablation by integrating the scar and electroanatomical mapping (EAM). The objective of this study is to evaluate the results of VT ablation aided by the integration of EAM and CMR software processed scar.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the performance and limitations of low-voltage zones (LVZ) localization by optimized late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) scar imaging in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs).
Background: Scar evaluation by LGE-CMR can assist ventricular tachycardia (VT) ablation, but challenges with electroanatomical maps coregistration and presence of imaging artefacts from CIED limit accuracy.
Methods: A total of 10 patients underwent VT ablation and preprocedural LGE-CMR using wideband imaging.

A 33-year-old woman presented with sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). The 12-lead electrocardiogram, 3-dimensional (3D) picture of chest electrodes, and cardiac magnetic resonance were used to create a noninvasive 3D electrocardiographic imaging map to identify the most likely site of VT origin. This map was integrated with a 3D mapping system to aid in VT ablation.

Background: Interventricular septal perforation is an extremely rare complication of radiofrequency ablation (RFA), with an incidence of 1%. The most common mechanism is a 'steam pop', which can be described as 'mini-explosions' of gas bubbles. Data for percutaneous repair of cardiac perforations due to RFA are limited.
